This is one of Ronald Colman's lesser movies, as well as one of his lesser-known. But for all that, and the fact that it normally receives mixed reviews at best, it's not too bad. The film focuses more on the story and action rather than on deep characterization, but it's entertaining. It's dated, but watchable. Ronald Colman is great, as always, being one of the most dashing and distinguished actors of all. Would I recommend? No, not like I would other Ronald Colman films (and he has done some fantastic stuff). But if you're already a devoted fan of his, you may want to give it a try. It really depends on individual tastes.
