Fairly silly US film made in Britain (Elstree) but set in France where the exteriors are filmed. A wife and a husband plan a trip to Deauville with someone else's husband and another (single) man (Monty Banks) but, due to a series of coincidences all find themselves together along with the second husband....
Although essentially a US film, it is nevertheless a typically British view of how the French carry on. Unless they were totally slapstick, sex comedies about adultery, even as innocent as this one, were still tricky to make in the US and the nature of the subject had to be disguised (the origin of what nowadays tens to be thought of as "the Lubitsch touch"; the publicity tag did not originally have this sense) which all became much easier with the introduction of sound. One reason why sound made US films more adult while in Europe it had, if anything, the opposite (trivialising) effect.
It is mildly amusing but, whereas with abbreviated versions (this survive sin a 30-minite two-reel version), one only wishes one had more, in this case, one wonders what on earth they can possibly have filled the other reels with but does not really want to know.
