Joan Crawford, Anita Page, and Dorothy Sebastian are roommates and poor salesgirls in a clothing shop in Our Blushing Brides. While Joan is the only one with a sensible head on her shoulders, she has a moment of weakness and goes up to Robert Montgomery's private treehouse penthouse. He tries to seduce her, and after a couple of kisses she tells him she wants to go home. She explains that not all girls have a modern sense of romance and apologizes for misleading him, to which he slimily responds, "I'm sorry I didn't mislead you." Then, when she tries to leave the treehouse and finds he's removed the ladder, he says, "You're such an angel, why don't you fly down?"
While I'm definitely a Robert Montgomery fan, and he's definitely handsome and full of appeal in this movie, he's also quite a heel. The other men in the film aren't any better, promising love nests and beautiful clothes for exchanges of services, or getting girls drunk with hopes of taking advantage. The overwhelming theme is perfect for the title, urging ladies to stay good girls until they find a decent guy willing to marry them. The screenplay is quite good, even though the main theme isn't one taken seriously nowadays. Within this romantic drama, hilarious quips bounce off each other, like, "I think those drinks I took went to your head." If you like Joan Crawford, or like me, you like her during her early days, you might want to check out this drama.
