''If You Could Only Cook'' (1935) is a Main/ScrewballComedy starring Creator/JeanArthur and Creator/HerbertMarshall.
Jim (Marshall) is a soon-to-be married millionaire/car designer who chances upon out-of-work Joan (Arthur). Thinking Jim is struggling too, she points to an ad in the paper for a placement; a cook and a butler are wanted, and she suggests they pretend to be a couple to get the job.
Jim agrees without giving up his identity hoping to fight his latesy ennui lack of appreciation both at his job and his stern fiance.
They land the job and end up working for the gangster Michael Rossini, but Jim’s nightly outings to his home and office leaves Rossini’s fixer, Flash, suspicious, and they end up thinking he's a talented thief.
Joan, on the other hand, believes Jim is a talented designer (he shows her his drawings) and tries to sell his designs. She gets arrested and finds out Jim is James Buchanan. Sadden and disappointed at the deceit, she decides to go back home.
However, Rossini and Flash are ready to save the day and bring the couple together -- whether they like it or not.
