Dieterle's direction gives this film a breakneck comic pace as Powell plays a debonair master thief who charms his victims while his henchmen steal the jewels. Francis is the bored wife of a banker who prefers the company of Powell over that of her stuffy spouse. Powell is sparkling as
usual and it's all very posh and roguish.
