In 1930s Budapest, naïve orphan Luisa Ginglebuscher becomes an usherette at the local movie house, determined to succeed in her first job by doing good deeds for others and maintaining her purity. Luisa's well-meaning lies get her caught between a lecherous businessman, Konrad, and a decent but confused doctor, Max Sporum. When Luisa convinces Konrad that she's married to Max, Konrad tries everything he can to get rid of the baffled doctor.

Nother day, nother Wyler as they say. Like the previous one I watched, this seemingly isn't much more than a fun 30s romcom and we'll that would be a correct assessment. While it doesn't surprise it does what it intends to well. The movie is super charming and very entertaining. The actors are undoubtedly what makes the movie for me, as many scenes felt to kinda run long for me, but the actors kept me entertained with their fun performances.

The kind of warm hug of a comfort film you'd like to watch on your birthday.

35mm screening at the Paris Theater, NYC.

Just one of the most adorably sweet movies of the era. Margaret Sullavan, I love you.
