- Quotes
[first lines]
Shipboard Reporter: Oh, Mr. Lindsay, I'm from the News. Are you going around the world on this trip?
Dennis Lindsay: No. We're just going to Honolulu.
Shipboard Reporter: Oh, on a business trip?
Carmelita Lindsay: Oh, no! That's why we are going on dis trip: to get away from business. Dis is my two-time honeymoon. The first time we went on our honeymoon, we didn't go. But, dis time, the only business is gonna be: is gonna be nobody's business.

The comedy is frantic and often quite funny, particularly Lupe and her fractured tirades (informed Dennis has "another wife" she screams, "That's bigotry!") Veteran character comic Leon Errol gets the lion's share of screen time in the dual role of Uncle Matt and Lord Epping and while he's funny, many of the scenes seem like repeats from scenes just moments before and it can be a bit much. The role of Carmelita's husband is always a thankless one and it's disappointing to see the appealing Charles Buddy Rogers wasted in the smallish part (which would eventually be played by no less than three actors in the seven film series). Character actress Elisabeth Risdon is around as usual as Matt's rather haughty wife who can't stand Carmelita and she's very good, as is the excellent comedienne Florence Bates as a barge of a social climber.
