What happens

Not So Dumb is a 1930 American pre-Code comedy film directed by King Vidor, starring Marion Davies, and produced by Cosmopolitan Productions for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, who released it on January 17, 1930. It is based on the stage play Dulcy by George S. Kaufman and Marc Connelly that starred Lynn Fontanne. The film resulted in a financial loss for the studio of $39,000. The play was previously adapted into a silent film in 1923 and would be adapted again in 1940. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
