Yawn.
Ice skater Sonia Henje was one of Fox's big, big stars back in the Great Depression... Her particular charms don't hold up well over the years, though, and modern audiences may simply find her too cuddly and bland to hang with in films like this. Apparently this plot-heavy romantic comedy was meant to show her dramatic range, but it's a real snoozer... Henje had an elfin, Bjork-like quality to her... but this fluffy, uneventful film was certainly no "Dancer In The Dark."

A MEDIOCRE COMEDY-DRAMA.
Dashing Ray Milland and Robert Cummings play reporters from rival newspapers who meet on a train while travelling to a remote Swiss village. The two men are forced to room together due to lack of accomadations at the Hotel, and they are both smitten by Louise Norden (Sonja Henie). But the true identity of Louise's father changes matters considerably...A frothy little number which should please those who like Ray Milland or Sonja Henie. The backgrounds for the film were shot in Sun Valley, Idaho and Fox borrowed Milland from Paramount for this picture, the original working title of which was DOCTOR & there was elements of the story which were based upon the exploits of a real-life doctor.

Worth watching soley for the sheer charm of Ray Milland.
This film is a mixed bag, full of humour, romance, and suspense. It works most of the time, however the scenes where the graceful Sonja skates tends to slow down the film. The piece on it's own is a wonderful display of ice dancing. Anyway, the best scenes involve Ray Milland. They don't make Ray's anymore! He really lights up any bit he's in. Standard story of two men after the same girl and scoop story. Well, one gets the girl, and one gets the memoirs in this bright, fun film.
