Ann Carver's Profession (1933)

Columbia Pictures
Directed by Edward Buzzell
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Sony Movie Channel)

Newlyweds Fay Wray and Gene Raymond struggle to cope when she becomes a successful lawyer while he slaves away at a dead end architect firm. They separate and he takes up a job as a nightclub singer, leading to an awkward moment when she shows up for show with her snooty law friends. When one of his drunk nightclub gal pals ends up dead in his bedroom he is accused of murder, it is up to Fay to defend him. The role-reversal schtick can only go so far in 1933 though, so they live happily ever after only when she quits her job and he becomes the successful one.
