Ladies of Leisure
Zippy, daring, peppy, gay!
Directed by Frank Capra
Produced by Columbia Pictures
A pre-Code romantic comedy-drama about a gold digger and a struggling artist that transforms from transactional convenience into genuine affection, buoyed by period charm and social commentary.
Kay Arnold is a gold digger who wanders from party to party with the intention of catching a rich suitor. Jerry Strong is a young man from a wealthy family who strives to succeed as an artist. What begins as a relationship of mutual convenience soon turns into something else.
