After a bright start set in a quaint little French village promptly trashed in extremely impressive war footage probably lifted from a previous MGM production, Metro warhorse Robert Leonard proceeds to plod through the remainder of this tinny early talkie comedy-drama with songs at his usual glacial pace. Much of the action is set in the barn were a group of demobilised doughboys are billeted, with the characters arranged and interacting laterally with each other as if on a stage.
Marion Davies does her best frolicking about with a French accent, although her funniest and sexiest sequence is a regrettably brief section in uniform as a French lieutenant choking on a cigar while attempting to keep her fake moustache in place.
