Rex Allerton: What do you do?
Jane Dubois: I am a mathematician.
Rex Allerton: Teehee, you're what?
Jane Dubois: I see what you mean. It's improbable, isn't it?
Rex Allerton: No, I'm sorry. No, I didn't mean to...
Jane Dubois: No, no. It's quite alright. Hardly anyone believes me at first but when I multiply a few 10 digit numbers and give them the cube root for a few more, they come around.

A forgotten pleasure
4 April 2009 | by (France) – See all my reviews

This is a delightful comedy and, what is more, it is neither devoid of depth nor lacking in intelligence. The idea is simple. Fans make a film star weary. He is so fed up with life than he accepts becoming the prize of a love lottery. He finds love on the way, but can't get married since he is engaged to the future winner. The winner -another girl- realizes after a day with him that her first love is more her type. The End. Admittedly, it's a slim story line, but David Niven makes it great fun, and Charles Crichton adds some delightfully ironical moments (he did make "A fish called Wanda" later). All in all a much under-rated comedy, worth many better-known ones. Definitely worth seeing.
