Amiable and frothy farce produced by Perlberg before he joined with Director George Seaton to become a major force in films. Douglas is a British professor in the U.S. on an exchange program. Blondell is a waitress at the campus restaurant. Douglas is engaged to someone else but through a series of totally implausible events, he and Blondell wind up in each others' arms. There's a little bit of what appears to be blackmail, some silly breach of promise business, a satire of cafe society in New York and several small subplots, none of which can stand any sort of logical scrutiny but all of which add to the overall enjoyment. Look for Dorothy Comingore (CITIZEN KANE) in a bit part. Also, a very young James Craig, the comedic Dave Willock and Robert Sterling can be seen in tiny spots. It's the kind of movie that's just right at two in the morning when you can't sleep. Not that this will put you under, just that it's a pleasant way to spend some late night insomniac hours. leave a comment
