The Perfect Powers Girl- John Robert Powers (B+W, 1941)
A soundie rarity that teaches us the blight of the 1940's businessman in his search for love and the new fall look. Opens on an executive office with a man singing about women’s fashion. We see various models advertising his products, and another man sings about how beautiful they all are.
