Associate producer: Wolfgang Reinhardt. Executive producer: Hal B. Wallis. In charge of production: Jack L. Warner. Copyright 20 July 1940 by Warner Brothers Pictures, Inc. A Warner Brothers-First National picture. New York opening at the Strand: 12 July 1940. Australian release: 12 September 1940. 7,805 feet. 86 minutes.
SYNOPSIS: Aged tycoon attempts to sugar-daddy a young violinist.
PRINCIPAL MIRACLE: Olivia De Havilland's second film release after Gone With The Wind (the first was Raffles) provided quite a change of pace for the star which she handled surprisingly well.
COMMENT: Olivia De Havilland in a light and somewhat wacky romantic comedy? Well, here she is-and she's delightfully charming too! Admittedly, she has an amusing script to play, she's supported by some extremely competent artists led by Charles Winninger and Ann Gillis, and she's surrounded by absolutely luxurious production values that are often brilliantly co-ordinated by director Curtis Bernhardt.
The music score is a special delight.
