A film director (Edmund Lowe) is trying to make a film but his extremely temperamental and totally obnoxious Swedish star walks off the picture. Since the part calls for a Swede, this director begs his dim-witted boss to give him time to go on a talent search for a new Swedish star. Unfortunately, despite his best efforts, his search is in vain--until he happens upon Ann Sothern. She is definitely NOT Swedish but the director has a hunch that she can pretend to be a new Swedish star if properly coached. By the way, how he knows this we have no idea--he must have read the script for LET'S FALL IN LOVE to see how it all works in the end! Sothern is a sensation, though it's also obvious that she's fallen in love with Lowe--much to his fiancée's chagrin. And when the fiancée figures out Sothern is NOT a Swede, she tells everyone the truth in order to ruin poor Sothern's chance at stardom. When happens next you'll have to see for yourself.
This isn't a particularly deep film though it is definitely entertaining--at least when they aren't singing. The film has a few too many songs and they sing the title song too often, so I used by VCR button to speed through a few of these segments. However, when they are not singing, the film is really a sweet little romance. Formulaic and simple, of course, but so entertaining and light-hearted that it's still a standout film--particularly for lovers of films from Hollywood's Golden Age.
