Virginia Grey was a contender for the hardest (and longest) working actress in Hollywood - by the time of her death in 2004, she had amassed 100 credits in motion pictures, with roles going back to her debut as a 10 year old in Uncle Tom's Cabin (1927). Here, all grown up, she stars in this short that MGM described as "a miniature musical" about two officemates (Grey and George Murphy) who are the unwitting subject of the boss's experiment to use psychological trickery as a way of making them fall in love. Director Kurt Neumann (later famous for very different picture The Fly (1958) uses their whirlwind office romance as an excuse for one enchanting montage after another, from grim workers getting ready in the morning to a whirlwind of taxi rides, cocktail glasses and roulette chips as the lovers enjoy a night out.
