Left alone together, Katrina gradually warms to Johann. Was this review helpful? This film made me feel like a 40yr old, finding Mr Powell incredibly sexy... it's the professionalism, he's so sensible and polite, he would respect me and stand up for the 99%....what a man...A nice central idea, conservative prime minister's butler stands as a socialist member of parliament, while maintaining his feudal position, is let down by flat direction and an uninspired leading lady (French star Annabella trying to crack Hollywood.) In most such films, a leading character assumes the identity of a butler for any number of reasons, with madcap comedy resulting.

This film came out in 1938, the year before Schildkraut was the winner of the best supporting actor award for the Oscar-winning "The Life of Emile Zola." Was this review helpful? An amusing little story that probably worked better on the stage and doesn't appear to have been much of a challenge for any of the cast. Powell is excellent in playing both the Butler and the Politician in a dual role which is rare casting for him.
It’s a potentially interesting idea and Powell does his thing nicely enough but there isn’t anywhere near enough in the script or the supporting cast to make it worthwhileWalter Lang stabilizes his narrative when he should be crushing it down to its very parts, but I'm getting the feeling his classical, McCarey/Wyler-lovechild style is something of cinematic catnip for me. 20th Century Fox Studios - 10201 Pico Blvd., Century City, Los Angeles, California, USA (studio) 1 of 1 found this interesting Interesting?
