Owen Moore x Marion Davies x Louise Fazenda x Karl Dane = one mixed-up wacky love story of mistaken identities. With a set piece involving an ironing board tossed in for good measure. Is it funny? Not particularly, though I can see the line from here to I Love Lucy to Three's Company.
On the other hand, Snitz Edwards as Moore's valet gets a lot of funny lines. Or title cards, as it were.
Like other reviewers, I have no idea why the movie was set in The Netherlands. Did the goofy hats add to the mistaken identity hijinks? If so, that's a lot of money spent on set design and costumes for a one-note joke.
Overall it was fine to watch once but it won't make Davies fans forget The Patsy or Beverly of Graustauk.
A postscript: It says in Owens' bio section that his body was found in his bedroom smeared in blood and surrounded by whiskey bottles. Coroner's conclusion? He died of a heart attack!!! Kinda surprised he didn't die of C0hv!hd.
