Hands Across the Table

In this 1935 screwball comedy, Carole Lombard shines as Regi Allen, a determined and spirited manicurist from poverty-stricken New York City who sets her sights on marrying a wealthy husband to secure a better life. Meanwhile, Fred MacMurray plays Theodore "Ted" Drew III, an impoverished playboy who becomes her unlikely confidant after a drunken escapade leads him to Regi's apartment. As they navigate their whirlwind romance, they cleverly scheme and deceive each other - and the wealthy socialite Vivian Snowden - in a hilarious game of love, identity, and social status.
