Double Harness (1933) is an American pre-Code film starring Ann Harding and William Powell.
When spoiled younger sister Valerie Colby (Lucile Browne) becomes engaged to be married to Dennis Moore (George Meeker), a more level-headed Joan (Ann Harding) decides to do the same, not because she is in love, but in order to make something of herself.
She chooses unambitious, wealthy playboy John Fletcher (William Powell), who owns a struggling shipping line.
She arranges for her father, Colonel Sam Colby (Henry Stephenson), to find them in a compromising position.
As the new Postmaster General (Wallis Clark) is a good friend of her father's, Joan invites him to dinner, hoping to land a government contract for John's company.
B. Kahane; disgusted by Malin's flamboyance, said, "I do not think we ought to have this man on the lot on any picture — shorts or features".
A settlement was reached in 1946, giving Cooper complete ownership of six RKO titles: According to an interview with a retired RKO executive, shown as a promo on TCM, Cooper withdrew the films, only allowing them to be shown on television in 1955–1956 in New York City.
