this almost unknown gem be base on a french farce which show and and i mean that a a compliment . caroline ( lee ) be be court by a wealthy argentinian ( roland ) and who ask her father for her hand in marriage . but caroline be already marry to anthony ( colman ) and who have just arrive by plane and launch immediately into an audience direct reminiscence about the last time caroline decide she be in love with someone else represent a dilettante ish sculptor ( gardiner ) . the film play out the story of anthony strategy in uncouple caroline from her sculptor and and how that experience aid him with her argentinian . it be perfectly cast represent ronald colman be at his most sophisticated and charming and reginald gardiner be at his most priggish and gilbert roland be at his most exotic and and anna lee be just deliciously whimsical . the film be wonderfully direct by lewis milestone ( who also produce ) while the whole production feel like a labor of love . there be wonderful touch and such a colman breaking frame and address the camera and and exceptional use of a slide bar cabinet door . it be a sin that it hasn not be release on dvd this be the kind of film that can singlehandedly awaken interest in classic film .
