Hook, Line and Sinker (1930)
Hook, Line and Sinker
Edward F. Cline actor: Bert Wheeler / Robert Woolsey โ€ฆ
Two fast-talking insurance salesmen meet Mary, who is running away from her wealthy mother, and they agree to help her run a hotel that she owns. When they find out that the hotel is run down and nearly abandoned, they launch a phony PR campaign that presents the hotel as a resort favored by the rich. Their advertising succeeds too well, and many complications soon arise.

Some screwball moments in one of the earliest full talkies, but I suspect the missing live / recorded musical score would have helped fill the many moments of dead air.
