Unremarkable musical comedy featuring Segal as the wife of a proud Italian count fighting off invading Austrians. When the Austrians, led by the imposing Pidgeon, take over the count's castle as a headquarters, he flees, leaving Segal to outwit the invaders. Pidgeon approaches the attractive countess with the proposition of trading her virtue for her husband's life. The sticky situation is resolved when Pidgeon, in a drunken stupor, thinks he has conquered the unwilling woman and leaves. An enthusiastic cast helps this easygoing, but forgettable musical. Pidgeon is enjoyable as the boisterous Hussar, but the routine direction and lackluster script do nothing to reinforce his energy. leave a comment
