In the 1933 film His Private Secretary, Evalyn Knapp stars as Sue Collins, a hardworking secretary who finds herself caught between her two bosses, successful businessman Wylie (Reginald Barlow) and his handsome but flippant son, Dick (John Wayne). Sue has been working for Wylie for years, performing her job with efficiency and grace, but her loyalty is tested when Dick returns home from years away and begins to woo her with his charming wit and good looks. Despite Sue's initial hesitation, she can't resist Dick's advances, and the two begin a secret romance that threatens to destabilize Wylie's business and family life.

As the tension between the three of them grows, Sue finds herself torn between her loyalty to Wylie, her affection for Dick, and her own aspirations for success and happiness. Meanwhile, the business faces its own crisis when a rival company tries to take over Wylie's company, and it falls to Sue and Dick to join forces and save the day.

The film is a classic romantic comedy, full of witty one-liners and charming characters. Evalyn Knapp's performance as Sue is sweet and endearing, and John Wayne delivers a lighthearted and charismatic performance as Dick, who is torn between his love for Sue and his loyalty to his father.

Reginald Barlow is excellent as the stern, no-nonsense businessman Wylie, whose devotion to his work has left him distant from his family, and his chemistry with Knapp is both tender and heartwarming. The film's supporting cast, including Walter Byron and Benny Baker, add to the film's light-hearted and fun tone, providing comic relief and rounding out the characters' stories.

One of the film's highlights is its depiction of the business world of the 1930s, showing the cutthroat competition and corporate intrigue that characterized the era. Despite the film's focus on romance and humor, it also offers an insightful peek into the American business landscape of the time, highlighting the challenges that business owners faced and the importance of loyalty, hard work, and integrity.

Overall, His Private Secretary is a delightful romantic comedy that will appeal to fans of classic Hollywood cinema. With its charming performances, witty screenplay, and engaging characters, the film is an enjoyable and heartwarming experience that captures the spirit of the era and the enduring appeal of love and loyalty.
