What is The Good Fairy/Theodora Goes Wild about?

THE GOOD FAIRY, 1935, Universal, 98 min. Dir. William Wyler. Before he became one of the world’s greatest comedy directors, Preston Sturges scripted this gem about a well-meaning but naïve cinema usherette (Margaret Sullavan) who inadvertently spreads chaos. Adapted from Ferenc Molnar’s farce, the comedy follows Sullavan as she juggles men including Herbert Marshall and Frank Morgan, piling up comic misunderstandings along the way. THEODORA GOES WILD, 1936, Sony Repertory, 94 min. Dir. Richard Boleslawski. Irene Dunne’s first big comedy role casts her as a small-town gal with a dark secret: She writes racy best-sellers! When enamored publisher Melvyn Douglas figures it out, he shows up on her doorstep and threatens to, uh, expose her if she doesn’t give him a tumble!
