Storyline

- TriviaLike its better known predecessor, Berkeley Square (1933), this film was tied up in rights entanglements that prevented it from being shown on cable (Fox Movie Channel would be the place to see it), or released commercially on DVD. It was finally released on July 29, 2008, as part of Fox's "Tyrone Power Matinee Idol" DVD collection.
- GoofsAt about 1:05:30 into the DVD (Tyrone Power Matinee Idol Collection, Disk 5), Peter Standish says to Helen "When I kissed Kate ..." -- but he hasn't yet kissed Kate in the movie. In fact, his relationship with Kate has been rather frosty, except for their opening meeting -- and even then they did not kiss. So he has has nothing to explain to Helen. Perhaps there was originally a scene where Peter and Kate kissed to solidify their engagement, and that scene was cut from the final film. In any case, the absence of any such scene creates an apparent continuity blunder.
- Quotes
Tom Pettigrew: There's one habit of his which will never become the fashion. Every morning two serving maids have to carry buckets of water up flights of stairs for him to wash himself.
Mr. Throstle: He washes himself? All over?
Tom Pettigrew: Every morning!
Mr. Throstle: [incredulous] All over, every morning!

Featured review
I saw this movie in the 50's and thought it was one of the most beautiful love stories. Ann Blyth was one of my favorite actresses and she was, as usual, simply marvelous. Why don't they show it on television or put it out on video. I would love to see it again.
