A marvelous little doomed romance. As a pre-Code picture there's uncertainty about how things will end. Powell and Francis have wonderful, starry-eyed chemistry together and it's one of those only-in-the-movies affairs that ropes you in. There's also some terrific and often funny business involving the supporting players. The camerawork is really exceptional for its time, with a number of lyrical movements and expressive shots. A very enjoyable, impressive and touchingly sweet film.

The sound mixing hinders the comic timing but it's a very charming romance that carries a few mild surprises. The ending couldn't have been better.
