February 1 movie: More Than a Secretary. Light comedy with Jean Arthur working as a secretary for George Brent, editor of a health and fitness magazine. The movie is worth it for the parody of 1940's fitness freaks alone. Besides that, Arthur and Brent have good chemistry, and somehow manage to rise above the ridiculous plot. This movie is silly good fun and I highly recommend it. Also features the earliest use I've ever heard of the term "land yacht." It's used to describe a small trailer Arthur uses to tow her stuff when she leaves New York in a huff.
