Once again, Muir Mathieson conductor - when did he ever sleep?

"Hotel Splendide," I assume translates to The Splendid Hotel - who names their hotel that?

And we're off.
I'm surprised Todd got top billing as I thought Rains and Howard were bigger names and draws. Rains' film career was on the downswing. But probably the real reason for this casting is that Miss Todd was married to David Lean.

Upon seeing Ann Tood for the first time in the movie on the airplane:
Me: [musing] "Ann Todd."
Fawn: "Could you please pass the Sno-Caps?"
Me: [musing] "Ann Todd."
Fawn: "Could you please pass the Sno-Caps?"
Me: [musing] "Ann Todd."
Fawn: "Could you please pass the Sno-Caps?"
Me: [musing] "Ann Todd."
Fawn: [disgusted] "Ann Todd!"
Me: "Did you say something?"
Fawn: "Could you please pass the Sno-Caps?"
Me: "Gladly."
Fawn: [muttering] "Idiot."

Claude Rains looks like he stepped out of a Universal horror movie in this get-up.

Howard's consolation wife, Pat, seems quite nice.

I don't blame Pat for not wanting to meet Mary.

It's a shame they didn't have an expanded budget...this should have been shot in Technicolor.

It's a shame they didn't have an expanded budget...this should have been shot in Technicolor. I hear ya, and I love some color productions - thought "Blanche Fury" made great use of color - but somehow I like this one in B&W. But that could simply be because that's how I know it.
