This film stands out among Katharine Hepburn’s partnerships because of its unusual premise. It isn't terrible, but it doesn't quite succeed either, largely due to the fact that she portrays a male character for a significant portion of the movie. Following her mother’s passing, her father (played by Edward Gwenn) is forced to leave his debtors behind, and she ("Sylvia/Sylvester") decides to join him, getting her long hair cut and dressing in men's clothing. They run into "Monkley" (Cary Grant), a charming trickster, on a boat headed for England, where they engage in minor scams together. With the goal of reforming their ways, she arranges for them to become part of a seaside entertainment group, and things proceed smoothly until she encounters the attractive Brian Aherne ("Michael Fane") and begins to desire being female once more. Will she reveal this to him? And how will she manage it? The situation isn't improved by his interest in "Lily Levetsky." The writing is rather poor and repetitive, and when the initial novelty fades, what’s left is a dull, almost theatrical narrative style. Grant and Hepburn seem to be having fun, which does offer some enjoyment, but the humor feels overly manufactured to sustain the film's lengthy 90-minute running time. I am happy to have watched it, but I wouldn’t necessarily suggest seeing it.
