Ernst Lubitsch 's Monte Carlo will be remembered by the majority who saw it as one of the gayest, brightest, and the most tuneful musical films ever made.
Tonight it comes on the air, complete with all the preposterous ingredients of plot that made it such a box-office success. When a wealthy countess, wriggling out of her marriage by a matter of hours, flees to Monte Carlo with her maid to discover Jack Buchanan awaiting her in the rôle of hairdresser, all kinds of possibilities open up.
To disclose the plot would be unfair, though there is no harm in saying that the barber is no true barber at all, as is discovered at a gala performance of Monsieur Beaucaire.
Monte Carlo ' trill be broadcast again tomorrow (Regional, 4.0)
