Ruth Hall brought a fresh, wholesome presence to Hollywood in the early 1930s and frequently played ingenues opposite the era’s top comedians. Monkey Business is a Marx Brothers outing, One Way Passage falls a condemned man for a terminally ill woman, The Kid from Spain clears a student mistaken for a bullfighter, and Easter Parade turns a chorus girl into a dancer’s new partner. The Three Musketeers and Union Depot round out the list.
01 A dancer recruits a random chorus girl to replace his old partner, and neither expects what follows.
