Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOne of over 700 Paramount productions, filmed between 1929-49, which were sold to MCA/Universal in 1958 for television distribution, and have been owned and controlled by Universal ever since. Its earliest documented television presentation took place in Johnstown, Pennsylvania Monday 14 December 1959 on WJAC (Channel 6); thanks to the presence of a young Cary Grant (I), in one of his more or less forgotten, early efforts, it was eventually aired in San Francisco 20 January 1960 on KPIX (Channel 5), in Toledo 25 June 1960 on WTOL (Channel 11), in Grand Rapids 26 August 1960 on WOOD (Channel 8), in Cleveland 11 November 1960 on WJW (Channel 8), and in Chicago 12 December 1960 on WBBM (Channel 2). It was released on DVD 19 April 2016 as one of 18 titles in Universal's Cary Grant - the Vault Collection, and again as a single 12 October 2016 as part of the Universal Vault Series.

Featured review
Gerald Fitzgerald, an opera fan falls in love with temperamental diva Lisa Della Robbia, they marry but he finds that he must take a back seat to her career.
This is an entertaining comedy with nice performances, it kept my interest throughout the whole 83 minutes. Lisa has a funny entourage of doctor, maid and cook which invades Gerald's home when they come to America. Also on hand is Sharon Lynne, playing Gerald's new love interest after breaking up with Lisa. Lynne would later play the devious saloon girl in the Laurel and Hardy comedy "Way Out West". Grant is restrained most of the time but lets loose with his comedic talent in the last part where the film gets closer to farce. Worth seeing for Grant fans who want to view all of his films.
