although i have enjoy bing crosby in other movie and i find this movie to be particularly grate . maybe because i be from a different era and a different country and but i find crosby continual reference to the good old usa pleasant at first and trite after a while and then finally annoy . don not get me wrong i be not anti american whatsoever but it seem that the english could do no right and or or need this brave and oh so smart american visitor to show them the way . it a fish out of water story and but unlike most movie of this sort and this time it the fish who have the upper hand . to be fair to both myself and the movie and i have watch it a few time space over a few year and get the same impression each time . ( i watch another crosby movie last night the emperor waltz and that and too and produce the same reaction in me . and to my surprise even my wife who for what it worth be american found the in your face attitude of american crosby to be irritate . one too many reference to teddy roosevelt and a she put it . ) a for the premise of the movie and it unique enough for it day and the support cast be of course very good . the scenery and the music be also good and a be the great costume although i agree with a previous reviewer that the wig on william bendix look horrid ( picture moe of the three stooge ) . all in all for me this would be a much more enjoyable picture without the attitude of bing crosby but because he be in virtually every shot it pretty hard to sit through this movie .
