Tibbett is not only strong in his role, but brilliant in the one scene of opera included in the film. Of course the ending is very, very politically incorrect. but times have changed and this film was released in 1936. Otto Preminger directing musical comedy / romance? Who’d have guessed!

Tibbett, in his last major film, is charming and warm as the everyman opera star (?), but Barrie & the rest of the cast push him hard through his paces. And
Otto Preminger, in his first American work, mainstains an incredible pace for dialogue & action.
