Nicole (Danielle Darrieux), a job-seeking model, is assigned to pose for semi-nude photographs. She goes to the wrong address, starts to undress in the office of a cynical young businessman (Douglas Fairbanks Jr.), who not unnaturally supposes that she has selected him as the victim of some sort of racket. Disgusted with modelling, Nicole, abetted by an ex-chorus girl (Helen Broderick) and a parsimonious headwaiter (Mischa Auer), next risks the headwaiter's savings on a frantic effort to find herself a rich fiance. Unfortunately, no sooner does she find what looks like a good prospect than...

Suspecting that it needed, if not another Durbin, at least a running mate of comparable calibre, Universal acquired one, with the same lucky initials, in the noteworthy French person of 21-year-old Danielle Darrieux (Mayerling).

...what New York tabloids like to think is a close parallel to l'affaire Simpson, the picture retells the tragic story of Archduke Rudolph, heir apparent to the Austrian throne, who gave up position, property, and finally life itself, for the woman he loved. Charles Boyer and Danielle Darrieux are no strangers to American audiences, but under the skillful direction of a compatriot. Anatole Litvac, and unhampered by a plot that demands love, spectacle, and a happy ending, they give to their roles a depth of emotional feeling rarely seen on American screens. For those who have not already seen...
Without apple-cheeked young Singer Deanna Durbin, Universal Pictures might have been far deeper in the red than its net loss (as of October 30) of $1,084,999 indicates. Next season Deanna will make three films of her studio's scheduled 40. Figuresome, French Danielle Darrieux (Mayerling) will appear...
