Tyrone Power is at his most alluring in this rather daft tale of an American stuck in Paris where he owes quite a lot of money to a nightclub owner he has bounced a cheque upon. His only way out, is to schmooze wealthy American heiress "Laura" (Loretta Young) - and he only has ten days to achieve anything. His plan is not without it's flaws - he is to pretend to be the Russian "Prince Alexis" and hope that her wealthy father will bail him out. Snag is, the real Prince shows up and he starts to fall for the woman, for real! There is quite a fun role for Adolphe Menjou ("Lobard"), the dodgy owner of the club, and there is some genuine chemistry between the leading characters that makes this quite an enjoyable little comedy romance. The script is a bit predictable, as are many of the scenarios, and the ending is never really in doubt - but it's still quite a good, short, little film that is sympathetically photographed leaving us in no doubt why both were stars.
