Dinner At The Ritz (1937)

The grieving daughter (Annabella) of a murdered Parisian banker (Stewart Rome) vows to find his killer. With the help of a fraud investigator (Romney Brent), she sets out on her mission and discovers that all of the suspects happen to be her father's colleagues. Directed by Harold D. Schuster (MY FRIEND FLICKA). Made by the British branch of 20th Century Fox, I found this a congenial combination of mystery and romance with just the right amount of both. In her quest to find her father's murderer, Annabella gets to pass herself off as s Spanish Marquessa and an Indian princess. David Niven provides the continental charm as her suitor. Far from essential cinema but a pleasant diversion. With Paul Lukas, Francis L. Sullivan and Nora Swinburne.
