Comment
An executive of a car company (Herbert Marshall) who has a disagreement with his board and is due to marry a woman he does not love meets a woman (Jean Arthur) on a park bench. She does not know who he is but persuades him to take a job as husband and wife butler and cook for what turns out to be a crook. Whilst the plot is not either deep or original, rich man goes undercover and falls in love but it is delivered in an entertaining way. Jean Artthur brings glamour and charm to the role and Herbert Marshall has an understated charm. This is not a classic, but it is good for a Rom Com from the 1930's.
