This has a great deal of old world charm, but ultimately it is rather disappointing. The dated premise clearly causes this vehicle to begin sinking about a quarter of the way through the film, but the performances of Maurice Chevalier, Leslie Caron, and especially Charles Boyer keep it afloat. Another viewer commented that it should have been a musical. It's rather ironic to say this, but it clearly might feel less dated had it been a musical.
