A young Laurence Olivier demonstrates his complete unsuitability for comedy in this mild farce from Korda, while the dodgy colour does the usually ravishing Merle Oberon absolutely no favours. To make matters worse, The Divorce of Lady X borders on the tedious as it sets about creating a situation that relies upon intelligent people behaving like idiots, and a supposedly lovable, carefree heroine systematically messing with the mind of the man who loves her.
