Hands Across the Table is a 1935 American romantic screwball comedy film directed by Mitchell Leisen and released by Paramount Pictures. It stars Carole Lombard as a manicurist looking for a rich husband and Fred MacMurray as a poor playboy, with Ralph Bellamy as a wealthy but handicapped ex-pilot. The teaming of Lombard and MacMurray was so well received, they went on to make three more films together, 1936's The Princess Comes Across, 1937's Swing High, Swing Low, and 1937's True Confession.
