Warner Brothers contract player Patricia Ellis went over to England to star in this silly musical about a showgirl who uses the fake story of being involved with a wealthy British aristocrat after being given a lift by his chauffeur as career building publicly. Little does she know that he's backing the show she gets a major part in and poses as a reporter in order to meet the girl who's associated with him romantically when they've never met.
Jack Hulbert is vedy, vedy British and Ellis quite the typical blonde bombshell American starlet, and they seem to be having a good time clowning around and singing and dancing here. It's a very silly story, but then again most musicals of the 1930s were. There's also Googie Withers as a fellow chorus girl, and in an unbilled part Martita Hunt as a gossip columnist. The songs are enjoyable but not really catchy, and there are a few lavish moments on stage as well. But it's pretty generic stuff, easy to enjoy, with the viewer certain they've probably seen this Cinderella plot somewhere else.
