An escapist fantasy in cheerful fifties Eastmancolour (sic) that reunited the director and star of 'Genevieve' aboard the then ultra-modern and glamorous backdrop of the Queen Elizabeth recreated at Shepperton.
Described by the late David Shipman as "an odd mixture of farce and whimsy" it all gets rather wearisome. Kenneth More is his usual charming self, but Betsy Drake (then Mrs Cary Grant) is too sweet and demure to be playing a Hollywood diva temporarily "through with men", while Georges Auric's score is unusually poor.
