In the RKO romantic comedy She's Got Everything (1937), Ann Sothern stars as Carol Rogers, a woman who is left destitute when her father dies unexpectedly and leaves her with a mountain of debt. Determined to make good, Carol takes a job as secretary to wealthy coffee magnate Fuller Partridge (Gene Raymond). When sparks fly between the two, one of Carol's creditors, Waldo Eddington (Victor Moore), starts scheming to get them to the altar so that he can get paid. When Fuller gets wind of Carol's debts, however, he begins to question her motives.

This early Ann Sothern programmer gets a boost from its talented supporting cast including Victor Moore, Helen Broderick and Gene Raymond. It was also the last time Sothern and Gene Raymond were teamed after making five movies together at RKO beginning with Hooray for Love in 1935. The two actors would, however, appear later in the 1964 political drama The Best Man but not in the same scenes together.

The reviews for She's Got Everything were tepid but not unexpected for a modestly budgeted programmer. Variety noted that "Players put up a strenuous struggle with the script but their efforts avail them little." The New York Times reviewer pointed out that "Miss Sothern wears many fine clothes, like the graceful manikin [sic] that she is, and sings one song, "It's Sleepy Time in Hawaii," like the vocalist that she isn't."
