Probably most fun in the opening, with Deeds encountering city types, moochers, servants, the press agent and boards of directors, which he does with both bemusement and scorn, well portrayed by Gary Cooper. Somewhat bogs down with Jean Parker's appearance, and ending courtroom insanity trial doesn't make much sense. Best bits are back home, supported by servant Raymond Walburn and PR man Lionel Stander, and great moments on the staircase ("Now let that be a lesson to you").
George Bancroft, Douglass Dumbrille, H.B. Warner (judge), Ruth Donnelly, Walter Catlett, John Wray, Franklin pNagborn (uncredited, and yes, I am going to spell it that way).
Lights: Joe Walker, music: Howard Jackson; action: Gene Havlick. Words: Robert Riskin.
I don't know where you get 2000 lunches from in New York in 1936. Macy's? Did though like Deeds' observations on the various fidgets / habits of the people in the courtroom.
