IMDb. With her pal Kitty, Eadie Chapman escapes from the sleazy roadhouse run by her mother and stepfather, only to become a showgirl. But her former milieu gave her a poor opinion of easy morals, and she plans to preserve her 'virtue' until marriage...preferably to a rich husband; while Kitty keeps falling for servants. Will playboy Tom Paige break down Eadie's resistance before his cynical father intervenes?
AMG REVIEW: B.G. DeSylva, Richard Whiting, and Nacio Herb Brown's naughty "Eadie Was a Lady" was of course composed with girls like Jean Harlow in mind. Or at least the kind of good-hearted broads Harlow plays in The Girl From Missouri, which was MGM's substitution title when the Hays Office censors nixed any reference to the song. The censors actually objected to more than the title, but somehow much of Anita Loos and John Emerson's racy screenplay was retained, including hints about a certain "white powder" and the strong suggestion that chorus girls like Eadie Chapman and Kitty Lennihan (Patsy Kelly) were little more than whores. Cuts were nevertheless made and as a consequence, MGM lost the film's original director, Sam Wood, along the way. The end result is quintessential Jean Harlow, or at least it was before the studio decided to tone down both her brassy hair color and corresponding personality. Lionel Barrymore, meanwhile, hams it up like only he could as Jean's first target, Franchot Tone, is sufficiently glib as the guy she eventually lands, and Patsy Kelly is, well, Patsy Kelly. -- Hans J. Wollstein
AMG SYNOPSIS: Originally titled Eadie was a Lady, this Jean Harlow vehicle was slated for release under the title Born to be Kissed, but the new Production Code vetoed this "suggestive" cognomen. After a brief and uncomfortable period as One Hundred Percent Pure, the film was finally shipped to theaters as The Girl From Missouri. Harlow plays Eadie, a sexy gold-digger who promises to remain chaste until she finds a wealthy husband. Travelling to New York in the company of her best friend Kitty (Patsy Kelly), Eadie manages to keep that promise, though for a while it looks as though she'll succumb to the charms of playboy T. R. Paige Jr. (Franchot Tone). Once Paige has proven that his intentions are basically honorable, Eadie must break down the resistance of T. R. Paige Sr. (Lionel Barrymore), who is dead-set against his son's romance and intends to frame the girl in a compromising position. She gets even with Paige Sr. by framing him, but there's still a couple of reels to go before the happy ending. Except for some provocative costuming, Jean Harlow's character is essentially decent, thereby "cleansing" some of the more risque elements of this enjoyable romantic comedy. The film's best line is delivered by Patsy Kelly who, when propositioned by an elderly roue, snarls "Look at this! Death takes a holiday!" -- Hal Erickson
