There Goes My Heart
US (1938): Romance/Comedy
This film is among the last in the Depression-era string of newsman-chasing-runaway-heiress routines. Here Virginia Bruce becomes a sales clerk in a department store owned by her grandfather through the recommendation of sympathetic clerk (Patsy Kelly). Newsman Fredric March, hot on the story, tails her to the store, but, of course, falls in love with her as they hide out from her grandfather at his shack. When the film was released, the character of Joan Butterfield (Bruce) was assumed by many critics to have been inspired by heiress Barbara Hutton, known as the "richest girl in the world." Norman Z. McLeod directs this Hal Roach/UA release. (amctv.com)
