I'm not an huge fan of farce - but Ronald Colman manages to pull it off quite successfully here - he must be in just about every scene! His wife "Caroline" (Anna Lee) falls for a wealthy gaucho "Paco" (Roland Lee) despite still having feelings for her husband. He, "Tony", on the other hand though outwardly indifferent to his wife not only still loves her, but has no intention of letting her head to the pampas - so he must thwart her cunning plan. This story is all over the shop - it makes little enough sense at the best of times; but there is oodles of chemistry between the two stars and, as usual, much of it's appeal comes down to Colman's marvellously underplayed facial expressions - and, for that matter, Lee's ability to play the ditzy, fickle wife with some aplomb too. There are some back stories to support/clutter up the scenarios, depending on your perspective and it's really not a very substantial film to watch, if I'm honest - but as a bit of escapism with some comedy and charisma, it's well worth 80 minutes of anyone's time.
