Uneven comedy that doesn't get really funny until the end of the picture. Beforehand there's some funny sequences and a lot of tedious business. It stars Clara Bow and Charlie Ruggles (they're funny) and Ralph Forbes (he's not). It takes place in France and the gist of the plot is trafficky and convoluted; Bow is trying to avoid fans and Forbes is a bon vivant song writer. He has lots of old flames who come to his flat to pester him and Bow somehow ends up there, along with Ruggles and another woman.
Towards the end the picture becomes a bedroom farce and is pretty funny, with people dashing in and out of each others bedrooms. We've seen it before, with doors opening and closing just as one leaves and another enters, but it's done very well here. Otherwise it's a long wait for the payoff. This played at Capitolfest, Rome NY, 8/14/21.
