A woman going to the wrong house where she expects to be a governess gets mixed up with a marriage of convenience and later on with espionage, all set in the Regency period. It seems like a Gainsborough melodrama from the early forties rather than a 1950 release when it must have even then seemed old fashioned. The story is confusing with an ungainly mix of comedy, mystery and romance.
There is nothing wrong with the experienced cast but they have little to work with and the dialogue is risible at times. Jean Kent is radiant as usual but Lana Morris and Kathleen Byron are disappointingly underused. It does have a good music score by Allan Gray but otherwise it is a bland film.
