Rafter Romance

A young working woman and a painter share the same apartment. Not at the same time, though: one has it by day and the other by night, and they never meet. Neither can cover half the rent, and the arrangement was born of necessity. Without knowing each other, they begin quarrelling through the notes they leave behind. The same two people meeting outside builds the story. The film sets what it takes to make the rent in the Depression years inside a comedy. The freedom of the years before the production code can be seen in the writing. Ginger Rogers and Norman Foster appear in William A. Seiter’s seventy three minute American film, completed in 1933.
