Behind Office Doors (1931)
A pre-Code American drama.
Mary Linden is the secretary who is the unheralded power behind successful executive James Duneen. He takes her for granted until rival Ronnie Wales tries to take her away from him.
Duneen hires Daisy at $50/week – prompting a concerned look from Mary. She had a good reason as the average salary for all workers in 1931 was $35/week, and secretaries on average made only $20/week.
One of the last films of actor Robert Ames, who died a few months after this film was released.
Behind Office Doors is one of six films in which Mary Astor and Ricardo Cortez both appear.
