Comment
A divorce lawyer (Laurence Olivier) staying at a hotel is persuaded by a woman (Merle Oberon) to share his suite for the night when lots of people want to stay the night. The next day he is asked to represent a man wanting a divorce from his wife who stayed with a man in the same hotel. He thinks the woman is his wife and she plays along with it. This is a good British romantic comedy, with some nice comic scences, particularly in the first part of the film as Merle Oberon and Laurence Olivier share a hotel suite.
