Warning: Spoilers
Marrying the wrong sister has become a basic theme in Hollywood films. No, this isn't "Green Dolphin Street," where the actual wrong marriage took place. Rather, this is a silly, pretentious film of a wealthy executive becoming enamored with the youngest daughter of Walter Slezak in Italy. Slezak steals every scene he is in along with Paul Henried, of all people, who turns in a gem of a performance as a Polish count-sculptor who loves the oldest daughter.

Slezak is perplexed because he strongly believes in the old European custom that his children marry by who is the oldest, and so on and so forth.

Dean immediately concocts a plan to marry his executives to the remaining three. He finally realizes at film's end that he is meant for the eldest daughter.

The ending where all four girls march out of church married leaves a confused Slezak as he incorrectly pairs them with their beaus.
