...Donald Ogden Stewart's Mr. and Mrs. Haddock Abroad. It is not as funny as it ought to be partly because it follows the hackneyed formula of a naïve U. S. couple seeing Europe for the first time, partly because of the unnecessary subplot involving Lilyan Tashman as an adventuress who tries to steal $50.000 from Mr. Haddock, and precocious Mitzi Green, who frustrates the conspiracy. It is funny when the insane hilarity of Author Stewart is permitted to come to the surface: Mr. Haddock (Leon Errol) wrestling with a brakeman in an empty car; Mrs. Haddock...

The virility of Herr McLaglen is very adequately balanced by the Misses Fifi Dorsay and Lilyan Tashman. Between these three, the iron workers Union, and Palisades Park, the director has managed to turn out a fairly amusing picture...
...highly conventional film musical comedy, but so well produced and ably cast that if its lines and situations were new it would be the year's best picture of its kind. Irving Berlin's tunes, and such smart players as Joan Bennett, James Gleason, Aileen Pringle, and Lilyan Tashman are arranged in support of Harry Richman, Manhattan night-club entertainer, who has never made a picture before and who is suspected of having negotiated his engagement to Actress Clara Bow to make the cinema public curious to see him.
