Interwoven with this history of Lloyd's and Jonathan Blake is the tragic story of Blake's love for a woman he once rescued in France, and who later turned out to be the wife of a complete fop. In the end, there is implication that Blake at last wins...
...features, but one must sit through several reels of crude comedy, mediocre songs, and half-baked acting before being allowed to enjoy it. The dancing of Johnny Downs and Eleanor Whitney in "College Holiday" is top-notch, as are the anties of electrician Ben Blue. "Sing Me A Love Song" presents James Melton, who really can sing, and Patricia Ellis, who really can't act.

These two go far to make the story plausible. More in keeping with the excesses of the plot are Jacques Dumesnil, who simpers and sneers as the no-good duke in the grand old style, and Christiane Delyne, the bourgeols Miss who captures the duke from the stately lady...
