Commentaire à la une
A fun operetta...
... has Napoleon (who is in exile) supporter Ramon Novarro escaping from a firing squad and finding himself in the bedroom of Dorothy Jordan, who has no liking for Napoleon or his supporters. The scene then shifts to a chateau where Jordan is staying with (cousin?) Marion Harris. Turning up at the chateau, Novarro takes on the part of a servant where complications ensue.
One would be foolish to take the plot for anything more than a piece of silliness. Although there are one or two slow patches, the film is good entertainment, even if perhaps the songs are not all memorable. Marion Harris (who only made two features and a handful of shorts) is charming as well, and there is very good work from John Miljan as Jordan's stuffy, pompous suitor, who is clearly in love with himself. The copy I watched also has the benefit of the original Technicolor ballet sequence near the end, after Napoleon returns. Directed by Sidney Franklin, whose films could be stodgy at times, did a good job here with a good deal of movement for effect. DEVIL-MAY-CARE has its tongue firmly in cheek and is a diverting amusement.
