    Where to Watch

Cinderella tale about a scullery maid (Franciska Gaal) who falls in love with the playboy (Franchot Tone) romancing her mistress. Brown: Walter Connolly. Willie: Reginald Gardiner. Rosalind: Rita Johnson. Charlie: Reginald Owen. Adolf Pumpfel: Franklin Pangborn. Butler: Barnett Parker. Karl: Robert Coote. Freda: Priscilla Lawson. Garage Proprietor: Billy Gilbert.

A Cinderella story starring Hungarian Gaal as a maid who wins the affections of a rich man courting the lovely daughter of Gaal's millionaire boss. A pleasing little romance which, though implausible, is well-acted and expertly directed. Gilbert stands out in a bit comic routine.
