Beauty and the Boss is a 1932 American pre-Code romantic comedy film directed by Roy Del Ruth and starring Marian Marsh, David Manners and Warren William.[1] It was based on the 1927 Hungarian play A templom egere by Ladislas Fodor about a secretary who eventually marries her boss. An English language adaptation of the play by Benn Levy, entitled A Church Mouse, opened in London in early May 1931.[citation needed] Another English language adaptation by Frederic and Fanny Hatton, also called A Church Mouse, opened in New York on October 12, 1931.[citation needed]

In 1934, Warner Brothers' British subsidiary remade the story at Teddington Studios as The Church Mouse.

The film's sets were designed by Anton Grot.
