hard to get

| No Comments

November 14 movie: Hard to Get. Olivia de Havilland plays a spoiled hieress who tries to stiff a gas-station worker (Dick Powell) at an "auto camp" (like a motel). When Powell makes her clean rooms to pay for the gas, she decides to get back at him by pretending to be a maid and tricking him into tangling with her father. It's kind of like The Richest Girl in the World, except in that movie Miriam Hopkins was a decent girl who just wanted to be loved for herself. Not a vicious brat who wants to hurt people for daring to assume the rules apply to her too.
