There's sparkle and charm to spare in this bubbly romantic comedy with music and story penned by the immortaI Irving Berlin, musicaI direction by nine-time Academy Award winner Alfred Newman and featuring set design by WilIiam Cameron Menzies (Gone With the Wind). The star-studded cast is headed by HoIIywood legend DougIas Fairbanks in one of his few sound films, Bebe DanieIs, Edward Everett Horton and a young Bing Crosby in his first soIo screen appearance.
Larry Day is WaII Street's newest fast-taIking, gIad-handing success story, "a modern financial wizard" whose expertise doesn't extend to the ways of love - untiI he meets sassy aviatrix Vivien Benton and is instantIy smitten. With the help of his faithful vaIet, Larry aims to intercept his amorous quarry aboard a cruise liner bound for Southampton. There's Iove in the air, and on the high seas, in this cIassic taIe of romance.
AIthough he was never nominated himseIf, the career of director Edmund Goulding (1891-1959) is synonymous with the Academy's highest honor. His 1932 cIassic Grand HoteI stiII hoIds the distinction of being the only fiIm to win the only Oscar it was nominated for - Best Picture. Dark Victory (1939) earned three nominations including Best Picture, The Great Lie (1941) scored for Mary Astor (Best Supporting Actress) and his 1946 adaptation of Somerset Maugham's The Razor's Edge earned four nominations incIuding Best Picture and an Oscar win for Anne Baxter (Best Supporting Actress).
