Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

Howard and Davis, as feuding thespians too busy to have got around to getting married yet, have more fun with this romantic comedy than its overwritten script by Casey Robinson deserves. When matinée idol Howard has to cope with the consequences of a young de Havilland's backstage advances, the plot degenerates into a rather uninspired Comedy of Errors set in a well-to-do WASPish family's country house. For connoisseurs of bad acting, however, there's an execrable but funny performance from Blore (as a manservant, naturally), with whom Howard has most of the fun.
