Two American expatriate players Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. and Laura LaPlante are
dropped in the middle of this British screwball comedy that turns just a bit
silly. I'm not sure suicide is a good premise for a comedy.
Laura decides to end it all and Doug saves her from drowning. But when he brings her home and his bride to be catches sight of her in a Marlene Dietrich like man's outfit it's the end of that engagement After that Doug starts to see her point of view.
It's off to Monte Carlo with their last few shekels. After that you see the movie to see how it works out.
Margaret Lockwood has an early role in her career as Fairbanks's eternally weeping fiance. She would have better opportunities to show her talent in the next decade.
Average sort of screwball comedy.
