Trifling romantic comedy about a pretty actress (Joan Fontaine) hired to break up the engagement of an heiress (Lilian Bond) to a loan broker's assistant (Derrick De Marney). Naturally, Fontaine and De Marney fall in love. Joan is lovely as ever but after awhile her playful coyness with De Marney wears on the nerves. Still, she's the only reason to see this otherwise forgettable comedy. She even gets to sing and dance a little. It's easy to see why she was more successful in dramas. Normally solid supporting stars Cecil Kellaway and Cecil Cunningham offer little help here. It's hard to believe this is an RKO film. Seems very much like a British film from the '30s.
