My Dear Miss Aldrich is a 1937 American comedy drama film directed by George B. Seitz and starring Maureen O'Sullivan, Walter Pidgeon, and Edna May Oliver about a young woman who inherits a New York City newspaper and decides to become a reporter rather than a publisher.
Martha Aldrich is a young woman from Nebraska who inherits a New York City newspaper from a distant relative.
Editor Ken Morley, whose Globe-Leader newspaper is in hot competition with the Chronicle, refuses to hire a woman as a journalist.
Determined to win her job back, Aldrich spies on industrialist Talbot and trade union leader Sinclair as they secretly negotiate a new collective bargaining agreement.
Aldrich gets her scoop, wins back her job, and marries Morley—who has fallen in love with her.
