Claudette Colbert has never given a prettier performance than as the grand duchess, Charles Boyer is engaging as the prince, and Basil Rathbone... is as elegant a Soviet commissar as ever made himself at home in a capitalist parlor. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Steve D 03/13/2024 The cast makes it cute enough. See more 01/03/2010 Although this is a fine comedy, with a great cast, it's not quite up there with the great comedies from the 1930's. Claudette Colbert is always a joy. Nice production, amusing screenplay and an impressive supporting cast. See more Read all reviews
