Johann Porok: My congratulations sir.
Count Albert Sandor: For what?
Johann Porok: Your triumph.
Count Albert Sandor: Oh - that. You'd think at my age I'd have sense enough to get out of politics instead of wasting all my time with a lot of nincompoops and parasites.

An Excellent Forgotten Classic
It is rare that I come upon a classic film I like this much. Comedy, drama, a charming story, all well produced and satisfying. I am not a fan of screwball comedies or slapstick, and a lot of times that's what people think of when they think of classic comedy, which is a shame. Much of the comedy in this film could be used today. William Powell is brilliant as ever. Annabella is stunning. Henry Stephenson is charming. He reminds me of a friendly C. Aubrey Smith. And they were in fact cast together in Little Lord Fountleroy (which, if you haven't seen, is an excellent forgotten classic). I can't recommend this film highly enough. Someone has uploaded it to youtube recently, which is where I watched it.
