She Married Her Boss

Culver City, CA: Columbia Pictures, 1935. Collection of ten vintage photographs from the 1935 film, including one keybook photograph and six double weight photographs, including one taken on the set. All photographs with studio stamps crediting photograph Ray Jones on the verso, and nine with mimeo snipes on the same.

The collection includes one keybook photograph of Katherine Alexander, one double weight photograph of Claudette Colbert and Michael Bartlett on the set, four publicity photographs of Edith Fellows (two being double weight photographs), and four reference photographs (three being double weight photographs).

From the archive of noted Hollywood still photographer Ray Jones. Born in Wisconsin on January 1, 1901, Jones worked for Paramount Pictures in the early 1930s, and went on to be the head of the still photography department at Universal Pictures in 1935, where he worked well into the 1950s.

Claudette Colbert stars as an extraordinarily competent secretary who marries her boss—only to discover taking care of him at home proves much more challenging than taking care of the office.
