Academy Award winning Hollywood legend Kirk Douglas headlines My Dear Secretary, his first appearance in a comedy, and a romantic one at that. Douglas is at his best as a womanizing playboy who’s supposed to be an author. When he selects the sensuous coed Laraine Day to be his secretary, he’s not too interested in her job qualifications. Douglas proceeds after Day in a way that would make this picture a sexual harassment courtroom drama if it was filmed today. Instead, My Dear Secretary remains a lighthearted and giggly good time. The supporting cast, with veterans like Helen Walker and Keenan Wynn, spice up the film’s already fantastic leading duo to produce uninterrupted laughs and drama. Also a great opportunity to see Kirk Douglas at the start of a grand career!
