Absolutely dreadful film of 1944 and ironically, the musical version some years later, was just as bad.
Marlene Dietrich is hopelessly miscast here. She looks acts just as if she is wandering around in a bewildered way. Ronald Colman gives his best but the writing and plot are just inane and utterly ridiculous.
Florence Bates looks like she is ready to take a chair out in front of a Bronx apartment building and chat with the other ladies of the building-1940s style. The cinematography and color are lovely but that's just about it. Just goes to show you what stars had to put up with when they were under contract to a certain studio.
Colman and Craig each disguised pretending to be someone else. The Craig prince character set out to pose as he did to find out the truth from his realm. The truth was that the film itself was just awful.
