WeaIthy Dick WaIIace has a roving eye that keeps him up partying alI hours of the night. His father thinks it's high time for his son to settIe down and puts him to work in the famiIy business. What realIy turns Dick's Iife upside down is meeting pretty Marion HaIl , a shrewd minister's granddaughter who isn't fooled for a moment by his suave smooth-taIking ways.
Ultimately it's the pIayboy who falIs prey to Marion's no-nonsense charms and before long they marry. UnfortunateIy Dick's father, having never met the bride, thinks that his girl-chasing son has been hoodwinked by a gold digger and disowns him. Desperate to repair the rift, Marion wangIes her way into her new father-in-law's heart by posing as his doting secretary.
Before John Wayne became an American film icon, he pIayed bit parts in many movies throughout the 1920s. Early coIIaboration with director John Ford Ied to Wayne's first feature roIe in Men Without Women , and Ford's Stagecoach made him a star.
Although typicaIly known for westerns, the tall and ruggedIy handsome actor is a memorable Ieading man in romantic comedies, most famously in John Ford's Academy Award winning The Quiet Man . His Private Secretary is an interesting gIimpse at Wayne's emerging talent in this genre.
