Long before she made a hit in television's Private Secretary, Ann Sothern broke in her steno pad as a would-be heiress who turns to secretarial work to pay off her late father's debts. Honest labor doesn't pay off fast enough for her newly inherited creditors, however, who band together under the leadership of bookie Victor Moore and Sothern's aunt, Helen Broderick, to land her a rich husband. The obvious choice is her boss, coffee magnate Gene Raymond in his fifth film with Sothern, but it takes extensive machinations, a musical solo by Sothern and a comic hypnotist to get the groom to come across with a proposal. Sothern had signed a seven-year contract with RKO in 1935, but after two years of B movies, most of them co-starring Raymond, she asked out of her contract. That proved a wise move, as a year later her scene-stealing performance in support of Fredric March and Joan Bennett in Trade Winds (1938) landed her a contract at MGM, where she would receive much better roles. Nonetheless She's Got Everything had its charms, thanks largely to a comic supporting cast including Moore, Broderick, Billy Gilbert and radio clown Parkyakarkus.
