From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Edwin H. Knopf (November 11, 1899 – December 27, 1981) was an American film producer, film director, and screenwriter.
He was born in New York City and went to work early in his life in the editorial department of his brother Alfred A. Knopf's publishing business.
After trying his hand at acting, Edwin turned to producing in 1928. Soon after being involved in several hit plays, he moved to Hollywood and found work as a director and screenwriter. Among his films as a director was Paramount on Parade (1930). As a producer, he was involved in the making of such films as B.F.'s Daughter (1948), Malaya (1949), The Law and the Lady (producer and director, 1951), Lili (1953), and The Glass Slipper (1955).

Story
Тони Барретт, писатель-романист, праздная жизнь которого привела к тому, что он, как иногда говорят «исписался» и его новая рукопись оказалась скучной, нудной и непригодной к печати. Карьера зашла в тупик, и он решает уехать в тихий загородный дом в Коннектикуте, чтобы в тиши написать новую книгу. Его жена, светская львица Дора, сразу же уехала обратно, поскольку ее не устраивала жизнь в глуши. Пытаясь найти тему, герой знакомится с соседями.
Это польская община (обосновавшиеся там иммигранты) и один из соседей хочет купить у него часть земли, которая совсем не используется по назначению. Так он знакомится с молодой польской девушкой Маней. Ее чистота и наивность очаровывают писателя, и он решает написать книгу, основываясь на характере и чертах девушки и описать историю ее семьи. Между ними вспыхивают чувства, которые, в общем-то, неожиданны и ставят их жизнь с ног на голову.

Rubber-legged comedian Leon Errol made his talkie starring bow in Paramount's Only Saps Work. Based on a play by Owen Davis Sr., the film casts Errol as James Wilson, a kleptomaniac who starts with picking pockets and ends up robbing a bank. Wilson's friend Lawrence Payne (Richard Arlen) inadvertently aids our hero during one of his heists, ending up in deep doo-doo with the law. Before Wilson is able to extricate Payne from his dilemma for the sake of heroine Barbara Tanner (Mary Brian), he pauses long enough to pose as a private eye -- and even gives bellboy Oscar (Stu Erwin) tips on how to spot a crook! If only all of Leon Errol's feature films had been as consistently hilarious as Only Saps Work.
