Vicki Wilomirska (Norma Shearer) and Nicki Prax (Melvyn Douglas) are European aristocrats with lavish titles and little else. They play to various American nouveau riche benefactors and make their way as houseguests of one estate to the next. They fall in love and secretly marry. When their marriage is exposed, their lives become much harder as few find married nobles that interesting. Suddenly, it's the unthinkable. He has to get a job.
This is based on a Noël Coward play. I don't mind this pairing although it doesn't excite me. There is limited humor and I barely care about these characters. The situation is interesting and has a few fun turns. It's a lot of boring rich people and few of them are that much fun. The third photo in IMDB has the couple looking bored. That's how I feel for most of this movie.
