Joyous late Lubitsch, written by Samuel Hoffenstein and Elizabeth Reinhardt from a novel by Margery Sharp. Jennifer Jones delightful as plumber's daughter who meets eccentric Czech Charles Boyer. Film has much fun sending up English class culture, populated by Peter Lawford, Helen Walker, Reginald Gardiner, Reginald Owen, C. Aubrey Smith, Richard Haydn, Sara Allgood, Ernest Cossart, Florence Bates and Una O'Connor, plus a short appearance from a collie which sure looks like Pal from Lassie.
Shot by Joseph LaShelle, edited by Dorothy Spencer.
