U.S., 1931
Directed by Frank Capra
Written by Robert Riskin

Smart-talking newspaperman Robert Williams breaks the heart of reporter chum Loretta Young when he weds socialite Jean Harlow — a class-crossing that gets him tagged “Cinderella Man,” in Capra and screenwriter Robert Riskin’s DEEDS prototype.
Reviews
“Fast-moving, with some delightfully cynical wisecracks contributed by Capra’s regular writer Robert Riskin.”
– Geoff Andrew, Time Out (London)
