- Synopsis
- Mimi Glossop wants a divorce so her Aunt Hortense hires a professional to play the correspondent in apparent infidelity. American dancer Guy Holden meets Mimi while visiting Brightbourne (Brighton) and she thinks he is the correspondent. The plot is really an excuse for song and dance. The movie won three Academy nominations and the first Oscar for Best Song: "The Continental", a twenty-two minute production number.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"The repartee is sharp, the plot is delightfully ridiculous, and the numbers are knockouts."
-
"The movie is full of endearing grace notes"
-
"One of the best examples of Depression-era musicals."
-
"The plot is trivial French farce (about mistaken identities), but the dances are among the wittiest and the most lyrical expressions of American romanticism on the screen."
-
"First of the classic Fred and Ginger plots."
