Love in the Rough

Clerk Jack Kelly goes for the green -- and the girl -- when his golf-crazy boss discovers he's the municipal links champ. Faster than a caddy can pull a six-iron from the bag, Jack is installed at the boss's country club, courting an heiress and challenging the effete elite for the club championship. Robert Montgomery stars in this remake of the William Haines-Joan Crawford silent Spring Fever, bringing his infectious charm to the comedy scenes and his engaging tenor to the musical numbers, most notably Dorothy Fields and Jimmy McHugh's Go Home and Tell Your Mother. And that cutie who plays his sweetheart's pal? She's Dorothy McNulty, aka Penny Singleton, who became the screen's beloved Blondie Bumstead.
