...last week two cars pulled up before the brightly lighted house at No. 3 Belgrave Square. Out stepped two famed obstetricians, one famed anesthetist. Inside they were met by King-Emperor George V's youngest son George, Duke of Kent, Earl of St. Andrews, Baron Downpatrick, in a fine state of nerves. Upstairs they found Nurse Louise Roberts and Nurse Ethel Smith, a bucktoothed, grey-haired favorite of the Greek royal family who had just taken a "refresher course" at St. Christopher's Nursery Training College. After eleven months of wedlock George's Greece-born wife, Marina...

...giving her up when she falls in love with a mealy-mouthed young prospector. is a painfully uninspired bit of hackwork. That the picture, nonetheless, manages to be an intermittently lively and entertaining period piece is due partly to Howard Hawks's skillful direction, partly to a fine characterization of a frowsy wharf-rat by Producer Goldwyn's latest discovery.
