Evelyn Laye and John Boles are absolutely charming. The musical sections are quite beautiful my only complaint is that there isn't enough music.
Much of the music seems to have been tragically cut out of the film before release due to the public's untimely distaste for musical at the time of the release
of this film. By the time musicals became popular again, operettas of this classy type had unfortunately gone out of fashion. Rare chance to see one of the last
of the first wave of musicals (1929-1931) from Hollywood (and in my opinion, it's best and most tasteful period). By the time the second wave came in 1932, musical
films too a decidedly more low-brow approach with more emphasis being given to low comedy as opposed to classy tasteful music.
