(William A. Seiter, 1932, 73 min.) Nancy Carroll stars as Ruth Brock, a cute young bank teller who longs for adventure and an escape from small town doldrums. Excitement arrives when a wealthy playboy, Romer Sheffield (Cary Grant), comes to town and hosts a summer soiree at his luxe woodland retreat. Soon Ruth must choose between the debonair Sheffield and her former beau, Bill (Randolph Scott), who's still sweet on her. Hot Saturday is notable for its unexpected (and decidedly pre-Code) conclusion, and for the early roles of its male leads: Randolph Scott, who would later rise to fame as a stoic hero in Budd Boetticher's westerns, and a young Cary Grant in his first leading man role. Preceded by School for Romance (Archie Gottler, 1934, 20 min.) In this hilarious short film produced by Columbia Pictures, professor "Romansky" provides lectures on lovemaking to a group of cute co-eds, including a young Betty Grable.
