Louisa E I'm not a Chevalier fan, so I dreaded this one a little, but I ended up enjoying it. The plot was quite good, and the pace was adequate. There is the cliché misunderstanding and a questionable ending, but there are some comedic moments, and it is generally fun. The acting all around was pretty good. Maurice and Claudette were very good. I was especially impressed with Claudette - I think she's terrific. The sound levels at the start were a bit dodgy and made it difficult to understand what was happening. I don't think Maurice's singing is all that good, but the talking of the song is even worse! I recognise the main song (that they play over and over again) from the Marx Bros. movie, where they use it as a comic gag. I prefer the happy-go-lucky song more. I wonder if the office is from the same set as The Trespasser, as it looks very familiar. Nothing special to note about cinematography or design. If Maurice got a nod for acting in this movie, Claudette should have had one too. They were as good as each other, and maybe Claudette was better. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Maurice Chevalier charms America and gets the bosses daughter in the early sound rom-com featuring a few of his songs. Not as polished as his early work with Lubitsch and Maoulin, Chevalier still conveys his irresistible charm battling primitive early sound while exhibiting his lush accent.
