Done with quite a bit of spontaneous feeling, presenting bubbling, happy Francis Lederer. Go to Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com 04/18/2012

Arabella H Jul 13 Charming, classy and hilarious, this love story is still fresh and modern even though it was made in the 30’s. It will make you laugh and touch your heart. Francis Lederer is adorable, handsome of effervescent. Frances Dee is pretty, heart warming and relatable. I love this movie more every time I’ve watched it. See more Steve D 03/06/2024 Overacted and not as clever as it thinks it is. See more 03/16/2013 A prince disguising himself as a bellboy falls for a woman disguising herself for a rich 'queen' after she wins a 5,000 dollars lottery. A screwball comedy based around the concept of attraction of opposites. A witty premise, impressive and racy dialogue, and charming overall, The Gay Deception is a real underrated treat of the classic romantic comedy genre.
