One of the earliest adorable romantic comedies with UK's Jessie Matthews. Who was already bubbly, but had yet to stumble across the musical formula which would produce her best films like Evergreen (1934), First a Girl (1935), It's Love Again (1936) and Sailing Along (1938). Still very enjoyable in ... all it's predictability thanks to this sweet gal.
