    • Trivia
      The film's portrayal of the Prince Regent's immorality and excesses caused censorship problems in the US. It was cut to 91 minutes and the prints were adjusted to darken the over-exposure of women's breasts in Regency costume.

    8/10
    Regency Romp
    Unlike the rather severe melodramatic fare being churned out by Gainsborough, this is a much more light-hearted business until the bittersweet ending; lavishly produced and stylishly directed by Cavalcanti from a witty script drawn from Norman Ginsbury's popular play.

    Among a large supporting cast Cecil Parker's comical Prince Regent naturally stands out, along with Margaretta Scott and a young Melissa Stribling as two of his mistresses ("Come Isabella, sit on my knee!") and Athene Seyler as the heroine's good-hearted aunt.
