Thirty years after this Will Rogers comedy as his wife, the no longer glamorous Peggy Wood would be climbing up mountains to help Julie Andrews, but here, she's a social climber wanting a musical career but blocked by her husband's simple minded buffoonery. His carrier pigeons get in the way (literally) of her lessons, forces the housekeeper/cook to quit, and makes Wood lay down the law of getting Rogers to act right "socially". Their daughter, Mary Carlisle, is a lot more accepting of him, and basically rejects mom's idea of a beau for her in order to choose her own love interest.
Carlisle and Rogers have the right idea for her idea of a beau, and that's working class Robert Taylor in his film debut. The handsome Taylor makes quite a catch as opposed to the boring Frank Helton, and that's just one difference that Rogers and Wood have, the other a visit to the Mardi Gras (pronounced as Grass by Rogers) and her snooty society friends, Richard Tucker and Helen Flint. The odd pairing of Rogers and Wood isn't any weirder than other pairings he had (Billie Burke the following year), and it's an early variation of the slobs vs. The snobs with some very funny moments.
