Sisters Ruth and Eileen Sherwood move from Ohio to New York in the hopes of building their careers. Ruth wants to get a job as a writer, while Eileen hopes to succeed on the stage. The two end up living in a dismal basement apartment in Greenwich Village, where a parade of odd characters are constantly breezing in and out. The women also meet up with magazine editor Bob Baker, who takes a personal interest in helping both with their career plans.

VIBE

A charming and witty screwball comedy about two sisters chasing dreams in the big city. It feels like a warm, optimistic embrace, full of lighthearted banter and the hopeful spirit of a bygone era.
