Lilian Harvey and Lew Ayres in My Weakness (1933)

British postcard by Film Weekly. Photo: Fox. Lilian Harvey and Lew Ayres in the musical romance My Weakness (David Butler, 1933). The other woman could be Susan Fleming, Irene Bentley, or Irene Ware.

 

A wealthy young man (Ayres) bets his uncle that he can transform a clumsy cleaning lady (Harvey) into a glamorous fashion plate, then marry her off to his bachelor cousin.

 

British born, German actress and singer Lilian Harvey (1906-1968) was Ufa's biggest star of the 1930s. With Willy Fritsch, she formed the 'Dream Team of the European Cinema'. Their best film was the immensely popular film operetta Der Kongress tanzt/The Congress Dances (Erik Charell, 1931).
