Paradise For Three (1938)

A wealthy Viennese industrialist (Frank Morgan) goes on a vacation to the Swiss Alps under an assumed name and posing as a poor man. Meanwhile, the hotel mistakenly assumes a penniless young man (Robert Young) is a rich man. Thus, the poor man is treated like a king while the rich man is treated poorly. Based on the novel THREE MEN IN THE SNOW by Erich Kastner (previously filmed in 1935 in Germany and again in 1955 and 1974) and directed by Edward Buzzell (BEST FOOT FORWARD). What a delightful romantic comedy! The game cast is up for it and the movie moves quickly along with some sparkling humor under the energetic direction of Buzzell. Comedies about mistaken identity are a dime a dozen especially during Hollywood's so called Golden Age but this well executed farce is a real charmer. Good fun! With Mary Astor as a gold digging divorcee, Edna May Oliver (who provides some of the film's biggest laughs), Florence Rice, Reginald Owen and Henry Hull.
