“Professional Sweetheart” is a true Pre-Code Hollywood classic well worth owning. Screen-writer Maurine Watkins dabbled in the debauchery of free-love and spousal abuse. Theresa Harris had a small role in this 1933 film, and she was a talented beauty who showed off her acting and singing prowess while portraying the maid of Ginger Rodgers. Rodgers stars as Glory Eden, a radio singer for the Ippsie-Wippsie Wash Cloth company. (Above picture is Ginger Rodgers from 1933s, "Professional Sweetheart.")
Theresa Harris, 1933
The Ippsie-Wippsie company wants Eden to be known a squeaky-clean virgin, an innocent to the masses to promote their washcloths, and Eden (Rodgers) has very different plans for herself and the $1,000 the Ippsie-Wippsie company is offering her, if she signs their contract.
Rodgers delivers some racy dialogue to her fake fiancé,
Jim Davey (Norman Foster) when she tells him she smokes, drinks and has been
with 100s of men. “Professional Sweetheart” is a true Warner Brothers ‘Archive
Collection.’
