Johann Porok: My congratulations sir.
Count Albert Sandor: For what?
Johann Porok: Your triumph.
Count Albert Sandor: Oh - that. You'd think at my age I'd have sense enough to get out of politics instead of wasting all my time with a lot of nincompoops and parasites.

Featured review
Not William Powell's best, but worth a look if you're a fan.
An amusing little story that probably worked better on the stage and doesn't appear to have been much of a challenge for any of the cast. Powell fans will enjoy it nonetheless and Anabella is quite stunning, despite her thick accent. More of Nigel Bruce in comedy relief might have helped the film along.
Although 20th Century Fox touted this as a debut film for French star Anabella, her filmography includes two earlier American films for the same studio. A note on the Fox Movie Channel stated that production on The Baroness and the Butler was delayed while Powell mourned for Jean Harlow, who was engaged to him at the time of her death.
