Big Business Girl is a 1931 American pre-Code First National sound comedy film directed by William A. Seiter and starring Loretta Young, then eighteen years old. It was released theatrically through First National's parent company Warner Bros.[1]
College graduate Claire McIntyre (Loretta Young) puts off a trip to Paris with her new husband, jazz band leader Johnny Saunders (Frank Albertson) to try to build a career and life in the big city. Though she initially struggles to find work, Claire soon lands a job and catches the eye of ad executive Robert Clayton (Ricardo Cortez). Claire impresses her bosses with her advertising copy and earns a big promotion, though she faces constant sexual harassment from Clayton. When Johnny returns from his trip and hopes to rekindle their relationship, he and Claire find themselves at odds and she must decide whether she wants to reconcile with him and quit her job or continue to pursue her career.
A copy is preserved at the Library of Congress.[2]
The film was released on VHS as part of the 'Forbidden Hollywood' series by MGM/UA Home Video, and later on Region 1 DVD by Warner Archive.
