Nonureva Really Surprised!

Console best movie i've ever seen.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

JohnHowardReid Short-staffed comedies of manners – there are only four main characters in this one – are generally rather boring unless the writers have come up with some delightfully incongruous situations and a fair amount of witty dialogue (or sub-titles). Alas, this entry is especially slow. True, at first the situations seem promising, but not a great deal is made of them. The direction by Sidney Franklin – who is usually quite stylish – is especially bland and the acting leaves much to be desired. Ronald Colman is stiff as a board and the heroine, Constance Talmadge, is obviously under the impression that the constant poking and holding of two or three "funny" faces is all the role needs to liven it up. In this movie, she shows little charisma for a major star and relies almost entirely on close-ups in which she regales us with one of two expressions: wide-eyed or sulky. Other players are equally dull, the direction lacks pace – some shots are held far too long – and production values seem minimal. Available on a good Kino DVD.

MartinHafer This silent comedy stars Constance Talmadge (Dorothy Adams) and Ronald Colman (Paul Menford). It begins with a rich American and his daughter, Dorothy, arriving in Britain. The father is naturally wary of fortune hunters hitting on his daughter and one of them is Paul Menford. However, Menford is so smitten by Dorothy that he soon abandons any desire for her fortune--he wants her. Well, the guy's father (Jean Hersholt) has no such qualms and arranges to sell the family manor to the Americans. This way, he figures, they make money from the sale AND Paul will get it anyway once he marries Dorothy! What follows are some misunderstandings and a nice finale- -but what exactly happens is something you'll just have to see for yourself.The reason I liked this film is that it's a nice combination of romance and humor. It's never a laugh out loud sort of picture-- more just enjoyable and sweet. Worth your time--and with a dandy finale.

davidjanuzbrown I never saw a bad Ronald Colman movie until now. It starts with Constance Talmadge ( Dorothy Adams), who is not funny ( supposed to be a comedienne. NOT), nor was she attractive ( that nose sure stuck out). There is not a single thing I liked about it ( in particular, because it is basically a 90 year old chick flick, which means that Dorothy will end up with Paul Menford ( Colman), and at the end of the movie;); did I mention a stupid musical accompaniment that makes things even worse ( I turned off the sound). Unless you are a Colman completist or are curious to see what what a Talmadge a sister looked like. Avoid. A generous 2 stars for Colman.

wes-connors Disguised to avoid fortune-hunting bachelors, beautiful American "scrub-brush" heiress Constance Talmadge (as Dorothy Adams) arrives in Southampton, England for a relaxing holiday. She is traveling with concerned father Albert Gran (as Samuel G. Adams), who is worth ten million dollars. Upon arrival, Ms. Talmadge meets handsome but penniless nobleman Ronald Colman (as Paul Menford). They are mutually attracted, but go separate ways...No matter, the writers give them more than one way to get together. Most amusing is when Mr. Coleman is mistaken for "Dr. Paul Scott" and invited to examine Talmadge, who is no more than a nervous hypochondriac. Without a stethoscope, Coleman listens to Talmadge's heart with his ear. Visits from Coleman make Talmadge feel like a new woman...The main storyline involves Colman secretly selling his last asset "Menford Manor" to Talmadge as part of a plot arranged by agent Jean Hersholt (as Joseph "Joe" Diamond). A cute scene involves an inebriated Coleman trying to hang his hat on a shadow and director Sidney Franklin makes a sexual point with the stars' footwear (watch Colman's shoe land between Talmadge's heels). The love and money deception plot follows a familiar path...****** Her Night of Romance (10/27/24) Sidney Franklin ~ Constance Talmadge, Ronald Colman, Albert Gran, Jean Hersholt
