Se Fosses como Senhei

Herbert Marshall is quite charming as an automobile tycoon who chances upon unemployed, nearly-homeless Jean Arthur in the park; he conceals his true identity and lands them both jobs at the home of a wealthy racketeer (he as the butler, she as the cook); however, his impending marriage to a society girl might put an end to the charade. Whimsical fluff, silly yet put over with so much professionalism that one isn't apt to complain too loudly. Arthur creates a likable character and has some very cute scenes (especially her cooking audition with the garlic). Her conversation with Marshall early on about "200 people for every one job" is still remarkably relevant in the 21st century, though this thin premise is nearly stretched to the breaking point. Worth-seeing for the performances, and fans of nutty '30s comedies will surely enjoy it. **1/2 from ****
