Zanuck has produced a picture that is notable not only for a highly capable cast, but also for a plot with a decidedly unusual twist laid in the interesting and gay centres of the Continent. Chock full of humorous situations and com taining an exquisite love story, this picture must be marked down as far above the ordinary in the way of an evening s entertainment. In support of Ronald Colman'and Joan Bennett are Colm Clive, Nigel Bruce and Montagu Love.

Having met and fallen in love with Joan Bennett, hired by the gambling syndicate to lure Colman back to Monte Carlo for another session at the tables, he uses his fortune, in pursuit of her. She and her companion L deceit. Colin Clive, lead Colman a merry chase through the gay centres or Europe to Interlaken, Switzerland.
