An accountant is fed up with his mediocre life. He receives a sum of money from a rich uncle and decides to go on a trip through Europe and Asia with his wife. He gets seasick on the ship and stays in his room. His wife befriends a man and the two become romantically attracted. A few days later, her husband gets well and this time he is the one who has an extramarital affair -- with a woman who calls herself "the Princess".
Charming comedy-adventure-drama, magnificently well filmed. This is a talking picture which has many sequences made in a silent picture style. Although it is in essence just a comedy of marriage triumphant over various outside disturbances, it is done in a very artistic manner and is fully entertaining all the way through. For a detailed analysis of this film, you might want to read what Christopher Mulrooney wrote.
