Over The Moon (1939)

A young woman (Merle Oberon) struggling to maintain a household becomes engaged to a country doctor (Rex Harrison). But when she suddenly inherits $18 million dollars, she goes wild running off to Monte Carlo, buying clothes and jewelry and taking up with gigolos. Directed by Thornton Freeland (FLYING DOWN TO RIO). This Technicolor romantic comedy is a mixed bag. For one thing, lovely as she is, Merle Oberon isn't much of a comedienne. As the love interest, Rex Harrison's character is a bit of a stuffed shirt and I couldn't help thinking that Oberon is better matched with the charming disgruntled millionaire played by Robert Douglas. Still, it's a attractive looking movie and Oberon looks smashing in her Rene Hubert gowns. With Ursula Jeans, Wilfrid Hyde White, Elisabeth Welch, Ethel Griffies and Evelyn Ankers.
