In this cute, forgotten comedy, all the classic elements are in place: hate-at-first-sight, mistaken identity, lies, family feuds, and a failing business. There's a struggling brewery about to be bought out by a heartless company who would toss out the family element and the souls of the workers. While business mogul Edmund Gwenn sends his son, Peter Coke, to handle the negotiation, he has no idea that his son will fall in love. Nova Pilbeam, the owner's daughter, crashes into Peter's car and makes a terrible first impression. But as they sit there seething, they get a second look at each other. . .
When Peter realizes who the beautiful young lady is, he gives a false name upon introduction so she won't hate him. Do you think everything will go smoothly for the young couple? Though dated and possessing a distinct 1930s flavor to it, if you like that style, this movie is pretty cute. You can easily see a similar situation with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers (Fred would, naturally have a tap solo among the beer barrels). Check it out!
