A millionaire wants to prevent his son from marrying a beautiful, but terribly interested, blonde, and sends the girl to France, sending a detective after her.
A blonde unlike any other and a dynamite brunette roam the corridors, bridges, and dreamlike stairways of a yacht. Luxury and lasciviousness, hidden cruelty, and exquisite entertainment. Hawks's second and final musical comedy after Venus and the Professor. "Dorothy's quiet nymphomania and Lorelei's reasoned greed generate no conflict between the two friends [...] Hawks pins the monstrosity of each of them onto the screen like butterflies in a painting, luminous with clarity and simplicity. Hawks's tone, in its dryness, is equally alien to contempt, compassion, or connivance toward the characters" (Jacques Lourcelles). Diamonds for breakfast, and marriage as the final catwalk.
