...vast library of material on Wellington what Reader's Digest is to the accumulation of writing in U.S. magazines - an expert job of condensation and synthesis, inspired when its source materials are inspired, slowgoing when the mass of detail is incorporated at the expense of color and warmth. The Duke is also salted with the Tory aphorisms of a simple man who did not know that what he said was wisdom...

Claudette Colbert most successfully sidetracks her prettiness for the more urgent priority of suggesting an exhausted young woman in coveralls. Paulette Goddard is easy to like in the fattest role in the film. She has a comic warmth and bounce reminiscent of the late Jean Harlow..Even easier to like is 4F (but outwardly rugged) Sonny Tufts, whose stumbling hands and voice develop wrinkles in the comedy of inarticulate love-making which are likely to become official among female cinemaudiences...
