So much average

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

In trivia someone has stated this was the first British sound film in colour.This is wrong on both counts.Firstly it is not a sound film.It is a silent with an added music track which includes some songs,not synchronized in any way.Secondly Pathe colour was only stencil colour.Kinema colour was a red green process that was used from well over 100 years ago.I think the first British colour sound film would be Wings Of the Morning.Turning to the film itself it is only 58 minutes long but feels a lot longer.It is terribly dull and I doubt that BIP got much further mileage out of this by reissuing it in this form.The acting style would have been outdated then,and having to read so many inter titles must have put people off going to see it.
