Very familiar plot to "My Man Godfrey" regarding butlers in upper class society.
Oscar nominee Billie Burke is a complete ditz in this film. As an upper class matron, she can't remember much and cracks such lines as to the chauffeur: "Do you drive?" To a U.S. senator: "The last time I visited Washington it was for a coronation."
Her eldest daughter played with a sexy sarcasm, by Constance Bennett appears much older than her 2 movie siblings-Bonita Granville and Tom Brown. In most scenes, she looks like their parents!
The plot really gets going when the butler, who is about to be fired (Brian Aherne) is mistaken for one of the dinner guests and becomes romantically entangled with the visiting senator's daughter. This gets Bennett jealous.
Patsy Kelly's comedic gifts are not taken to full advantage here. Some funny moments but the plot and outcome are so predictable.
