fun couple

An European munitions magnate has disappeared and various governments are alarmed. Reporters Kenneth Stevens and Patricia Booth from different newspapers board a train after getting the same tip. They join forces to pose as a married couple to track down the elusive magnate.

I don't know these actors but the lead couple has some good combative banter. It would be better if they are long time rivals and have some history together. This pairing could have had some legs. The moustache reveal is such a ridiculous move that it's actually funny. The movie gets sillier and sillier. The story has a few bumps and has trouble staying on track. It's less about the plot and more about the fun chemistry.
