A very good "B" Robert Young

This is a B movie, but quite a pleasant one. Robert Young is excellent as a playboy with an aversion to the altar...until he meets Annabella in Switzerland. He becomes quite captivated. And, there's quite a bit of snappy dialog here...more than you would expect for the fluff that this movie really is...but it's enjoyable fluff! Annabella is quite wonderful here, too.

There are enough great character actors to go around here -- Walter Connolly is superb as the psychiatrist, and Billie Burke paid her usual air-headed self...just one film before her Glenda in "The Wizard Of Oz". And you'll recognize several others, as well.

A word about the mountain climbing scenes. While clearly fake, they are rather well done, although three people stranded on a mountain would remain that calm, I'll never know.

This film is a nice mix of light comedy and drama. I think you'll enjoy it. And I still don't quite understand why, in movies, Robert Young didn't quite reach the success I think he deserved.
