Comment
Two American's, one an artist and one a playwright meet a feisty young woman in Paris. She falls in love with both of them and they decide to move in together, on the basis of her encouraging their careers and the realtionship between them remains platonic. However things change when one moves to London where his first play is being produced and she starts sleeping with the other one. The situation is then reversed and she sleeps with the other one. In order to resolve her problem so leaves both and marries a third man. There are then further twists in their realtionships. This is good pre-code romantic comedy and was made in a style that would soon become pattern for Screwball Comedies.
