From celebrated entertainer Garson Kanin, with a golden career spanning more than 60 years with credits including Tracy and Hepburn classics Adam’s Rib and Pat and Mike, comes this deliciously witty comedy about a corrupt businessman trying to get ahead. Harry Brock, a junk-dealer millionaire on the rise, heads to Washington with his chorus girl girlfriend Billie Dawn in tow, hoping to influence a senator in some personal business dealings. But he soon gets advice suggesting that his seemingly dim-witted blonde will need a little polish to get ahead in D.C. society. Brock hires a newspaperman for the task but gets more than he bargained for when, in a deliriously funny turn of events, he discovers a little bit of learning can be a dangerous thing!
