I laughed out loud, I rewound scenes to watch them again, I was delighted! I've never seen Ronald Colman be just flat out hilarious. HIs delivery is delightful and not to be missed ("not you, not you, not you..."). He charms a dog! He makes the movie worth watching. But, then again, I'd watch him be witty with the bulldog in the film for an hour. Some of the supporting cast, like the butler, are fun too. The weaknesses of the movie almost derail it entirely: we never really know why he loves Caroline so much. Anna Lee mostly mugs for the camera rather than being intriguing. The script never reveals why he's so entranced with her. Another problem with the movie: Charles Winninger is so disturbingly miscast as Caroline's father. What a missed opportunity this movie is. A lot more people would know Ronald Colman's name now had it been as good as it should have been.
