Jimmy and Sally is a 1933 American pre-Code comedy-drama film directed by James Tinling and written by Paul Schofield and Marguerite Roberts with additional dialogue by William Conselman.

Starring James Dunn, Claire Trevor, Harvey Stephens, Lya Lys, and Jed Prouty, the story concerns a self-centered publicist who relies on his secretary's creativity but takes her affection for him for granted.

But Jimmy is more interested in her hearing the story he has come up for the singer, that she has fallen in love with an unnamed gangster who is unaware of her affections.

[1] According to the AFI Catalog of Feature Films, the script by Paul Schofield and Marguerite Roberts was enhanced by dialogue from William Conselman and additional writing from Charlotte Miller.

[8] Songs in the film—"It's the Irish in Me", "You're My Thrill", and "Eat Marlowe's Meats"—were composed by Jay Gorney with lyrics by Sidney Clare.

[1] A contemporary review cited by Trevor biographer Derek Sculthorpe called the film "[a] highly diverting piece of nonsense with no pretensions to be anything else", but noted that the presence of Dunn and Trevor "was sufficient to ensure the success of any film, for both these young people have an irresistible sense of fun and delightful stage personalities".

[5] Another review, hinting at the film's release at the height of the Great Depression, called it "Guaranteed to drive away the 1933 blues".

[5] The Indianapolis Star described it as "another of those luxurious romances of youth which have been a favorite product of Hollywood for many years", concluding, "As a comedy, 'Jimmy and Sally' is easy to take.

[9] The Montreal Gazette called it "an amusing little programme picture", adding: "There is some excellent comedy in this film along the lines of satire on the publicity man whose great schemes always overreach the mark but provide plenty of excitement in so doing".

[12] The Sydney Morning Herald, however, tagged the film for a lack of novelty, with the humorous scenes depicting Jimmy's schemes going wrong as the bright spots in "a mass of otherwise dull material".

The New York Daily News, which gave the film 2 stars, wrote: "Jimmy isn't such a bright ray of sunshine as he has been in other pictures, as he is made to think so much of himself and his ability to get on that he saddens his sweetheart and maddens his friends".
