the usual mixups
3 August 2021
When the macLean family catches gemma (Ida Lupino) wandering around the closed rooms of their venice mansion, they learn what a scoundrel dubrok is. But there are two dubroks! Caryl (Gig Young) is the prim and proper one, while sebastian (Flynn) is the troublesome, artistic, bohmian one that gemma knows. So the macLeans rush out of town to keep their daughter from getting mixed up with any dubroks. So the brothers take gemma and her baby to go find fenella (Parker) and straighten the mess out. When they find her, sebastian and fenella talk alone. Fenella can't make up her mind which brother she likes. Life is confusing. And when people "talk" in the moonlight, sometimes it means more happened, during the film code... it's ok. Takes a long time to get where its going. And the ballet scene goes on way too long. Will fenella steal gemma's man? She flutters her eye lashes, and floats back and forth between them. This warner brothers version, and the 1935 UA film are both based on the novel and play by Margaret Kennedy.
