Although clearly a B picture, the production values are quite high on this excellent vehicle for character actor Frank Morgan.
Ingraham Steward (Morgan) is a con man living in Paris. Although he and his wife have been separated for years (she living in America), he offers to hold his daughter's wedding in his château (which of course he doesn't have) assuming they won't travel all the way from America. But, of course, they do. His Parisian friend is of the landed gentry (although Morgan doesn't know it) and owns a large country estate, and posing as the caretaker he allows the wedding to be held there...but then himself falls in love with the daughter. Morgan admits he's a fraud at the planned wedding, which then falls apart, and the daughter can marry the real man of her dreams.
While Morgan is the only actor of note in the film, the rest of the ensemble cast is quite good and make for an interesting film of just a little over an hour. Well worth a watch.
