Wilding inherits a dress shop run by Neagle. For some reason a rival shop keeps getting the jump on the new fashions, until some detective work proves that Wilding's cousin, Phipps, is providing information to rival shop owner Graves. Neagle, who has been angry with her new boss over this development, forgives him, and the two head off on a romantic junket to the south of France. The plot is about as simple as they come, but it's told so nicely that you can't help but be charmed. Wilding and Neagle are a sort of British Astaire and Rogers, playing well off each other in this lighthearted romp. The beautiful fashion designs, as well as glorious set decor, are well captured in the Technicolor photography. leave a comment
