Review of The Princess Comes Across (1936) by Monsieur R — 28 Mar 2010
A more than boring film, it astounds me how lovers of 30's films defend them so.
The Princess Comes Across is a hopelessly trivial and boring film on an ocean liner. The setting alone is boring let alone the murder plot that pretends to engross us.
Carol Lombard might be the diva of film stars back in the day, but she must have got stuck with many a loser films like this one.
Wonderful title and very creative, the pricess comes across as a phoney. She has that Swedish accent when she is royalty, with everyone kissing her ass, but behind closed doors she is American all the way.
Profoundly disappointing film. Fred MacMurray is the tall bumbling American that chases Lombard, the stuck up royal crab.
Of course, they get together, the original Odd Couple.
