A wonderful light comedy starring Jones as an English nobleman unhappily betrothed to a rich brewery heiress. Life takes a complete turnaround for him one day when he attends a circus. Lee, the human cannonball, is fired right into his lap and it's love at first sight. The two elope to
Paris and presumably live happily ever after. The amiable cast makes this marvelous little comedy work. Jones and Lee have wonderful chemistry, backed by good direction and nice attention to Victorian period detail. Reportedly Lee was quite unhappy that a stunt double was fired out of the cannon
rather than herself!
