A decent Robert Donat vehicle that is perhaps most valuable for its exploration of the crass nature of American culture, or more precisely, the complete misunderstanding and homogenization of foreign cultures at the hands of Americans - and for that matter, it's probably more of a comment about Hollywood than anything.

ROBERT DONAT IS ONE OF THOSE HANDFUL OF ACTORS WHOM HAS NEVER MADE A BAD MOVIE. THIS IS A VERY FUN FILM WITH A TERRIFIC CAST. EUGENE PALLETTE IS EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD. HE MANAGES TO EVEN STEAL SCENES AWAY FROM DONAT!
