  <shotlist>DISCUSSES CLERICAL APTITUDES &amp; POINTS OUT THE PREPARATION NEEDED BEFORE ONE CAN BECOME A SECRETARY.

Ken Smith sez: Great title, but the muddled soundtrack and bargain basement production of this early Coronet effort make it less satisfying than other Òcareer womanÓ films.  The stilted interaction between the aspiring secretary and her various elders is okay, but nothing to write a memo about.  This film's soundtrack was re-recorded when it was re-scripted and re-edited down to a 10-minute version in 1951.  It was then remade in 1954 as the less-dogmatic Do I Want To Be A Secretary?
