"...Elegant, frothy (romantic comedy), but made with both eyes very much on the Production Code. Although such films as this (and it is exceptionally good...) would seem to belie it, the late '30s was not a good period for comedy. The fast, wacky comedies and satires of the earlier '30s were behind us, having come to a hilarious climax with Nothing Sacred the year before. Sophisticated sex comedy was largely hamstrung by the rigidity of the Production Code, and only Lubitsch was really still in there trying.... Charm, however, was a quality that the Code couldn't affect, and this film has it in full measure, helped out by the elegance of setting (the mood is established right away by the luxury of the main titles) and the assured playing of the two stars, Miss Darrieux, a delight in her American debut. Both of the leads play sophisticated innocents, and the risqué complications that develop are all of course misunderstandings, or carefully-guided wrong 'interpretations' from the audience. Henry Koster, who directed, was a master at this kind of tasteful frou-frou...." William K. Everson
