Rene Clair's theme is simpler than usual. The two young lovers are finally reunited by the unoriginal trick of having Jean's taxi collide with Anna's flower cart. And yet Mr. Clair succeeds in making his sentimental story uniquely plausible. Japanese lanterns, a cawing band, and dancing couples serve as a background to the first part of the film.

I gaze until my mind is naught But wonderful and wordless thought! Till, suddenly, surpassing wit, Spontaneous meadows spring in it; And I am but a glass between Un-walked in meadows, gold and green...
...results, animals must be kept in good health and subjected to uniform temperature and diet, which requires constant care and attention.
