Trivia:
After a disastrous preview, director George Cukor introduced the Marseilles scene as an introduction to the original film, thus showing the feminine Sylvia Scarlette, with tresses and in a skirt, before showing the tom-boyish side of the character. moreSoundtrack:

This is a very odd movie, Hepburn and Grant are not at their best but then it's very early on in their careers. Hepburn is the strangest "boy" I've ever seen and her acting is way over the top. I think it should be noted, that the entrance of Brian Aherne as Michael adds some much needed life and humor to the film, I don't think he's been given any credit here. The scene in which Hepburn as Sylvia comes to him in a dress is priceless, His immediate reaction being "Good heavens boy, what are ya up to!". It only gets worse when he proceeds to call her a "freak of nature"(among other things), laughing all the while, then is strangely charmed by her, kisses her, and then forgets all about her as soon as Lily comes into the room. I found it absurdly hilarious. Cary Grant is fine in this, I think he's always enjoyable to watch. I wouldn't call this a great classic, but I think it's an oddity that is at least interesting for a one time watch.
