Biography of a Bachelor Girl
The line "You used to be quite a nice boy - fun occasionally" prompted a complaint letter to the Hays office from the International Federation of Catholic Alumnae, the members of which heard "You used to be quite a nice boy - fornicationally.",Richard 'Dickie' Kurt: Would you mind having your jitters after I leave?,Cynical magazine editor Richard 'Dickie' Kurt (Robert Montgomery) is desperate to sign up artist Marion Forsythe (Ann Harding) for a biography. He doesn't care about her artistry. He's much more enticed by rumors of her celebrity relationships. Leander 'Bunny' Nolan (Edward Everett Horton) is running for the Senate and fears his past fling with Marion could turn into a scandal.

Kurt is too mean. First, his lack of bedside manners would make signing Marion nearly impossible. I question how a guy like him would get such a task. I guess an editor could be that bitter and I can see a hardnosed reporter like him rising up to the job. He just wouldn't be asked to do something that needs him to be nice. More than that, Montgomery is playing so hard that he has no chemistry with Ann Harding. It's almost reflexive that she's going in the complete opposite direction. The movie is trying to use the opposites attract proposition. Normally, romantic combat works but he's just too harsh. It's not his anger. It's his hate.,
