9/10
The troubles of a millionaire and his niece with his involuntary girl involvements, always saved by the niece.
27 January 2020
This is a sprightly glittering musical comedy with above all splendid music and great comedians at their best, especially Roland Young as the incorrigible millionaire constantly getting mixed up with unbearable divas and risking a constant divorce. Anna Neagle is at her most charming, Victor Mature is still young and handsome here, but his part is small, but there are many hilarious scenes. One misses the great days of comedy of the old Hollywood of the 30s, continuing shining with splendour all the way up to Pearl Harbour, which changed everything for the worse. Richard Carlson plays the most sympathetic part as the artist painting her portrait, leading up to 'Tea for Two'. Helen Broderick plays the wife of Roland Young, another ace of a comedienne. Today it's a bit oldish and outdated, but its charm is definitely irresistible and will endure through many more decades.
