A loafer and a manicurist, both planning to marry money, meet and form an uneasy alliance. Hotel manicurist Regi Allen is a cynical golddigger who meets her match in Theodore 'Ted' Drew III.
Directed by Mitchell Leisen. Hands Across the Table set the template for a number of Leisen romantic comedies to come: An independent woman falls, despite all her best intentions, for a guy with no discernable skills or abilities beyond his easy charm. Here, Lombard’s manicurist mistakes MacMurray’s wisecracking batchelor for a man of means.
