Victor Lobard, the smooth and nimble owner of the Café Metropole in Paris, has only ten days to replace a small fortune he embezzled from the business; he and a clerk face prison if he fails. He thinks he's won the money at a casino then learns he's in possession of a rubber check written by Alexander Brown, a well-mannered but penniless Yank. Lobard cooks up a scheme: to have Brown pretend to be a Russian prince, woo a visiting American, and get her rich father to give Brown the money Lobard needs. Several problems: Brown's not a very good impostor, a real Russian prince presents himself, and the two young people fall in love. Does prison await or do wild strawberries?
Leave your thoughts about Café Metropole.
| User ReviewMaria Clike frothy champagne, this is a comedy with two of the most beautiful people ever to hit the screen, Tyrone Power and Loretta Young. Both are wonderful. |
| User ReviewN GIt's a light comedy/love story with a smart script and good performances. Tyrone Power is great in the opening scene.. |
| User ReviewGreg WYou have two choices, either make love to the charming girl or spend two years in prison. Alexis is an American in Paris who is charming but broke. One night he loses $10,000 and bounces a check trying to pay his debts. The owner of the casino offers Alexis a deal, help steal the money of a Russian princess or go to jail. Alexis is left with no choice, help steal the money; the problem, he falls in love with the princess. "You are unquestionably the greatest man in Paris." "I've never denied it, sir." Edward Griffith, director of Holiday, No More Ladies, The Animal Kingdom, The Sky's the Limit, Virginia, Alias the Lone Wolf, Bad Company, and White Mice, delivers Café Mertopole. The storyline for this picture is very interesting. The plot is a bit predictable but reminded me a little of Roman Holiday. The cast delivers excellent performances and includes Tyrone Power, Loretta Young, and Adolphe Menjou. "He is nice...and that's what I don't like about him." I DVR'd this picture off Turner Classic Movies (TCM) because it stars the magnificent Tyrone Power. I have been a huge face of Tyrone Power for some time and found this performance excellent. The movie isn't perfect but the characters are fascinating and well developed. I recommend seeing this picture but I wouldn't add it to my DVD collection. "I want a roasted eagle." Grade: B |
| User ReviewAdam Dwiki says this movie was a drama this movie is a comedy and i enjoyed this 1937 film with Loretta Young and Tyrone Power in the lead roles. |
| User ReviewBill TA pretty good movie here about a club owner who goes to great lengths to try to get his club out of debt. When a young American swindles him out of a big gambling win, he forces him to impersonate a Russian Prince for reasons I'm still not 100% sure on. Anyways, an American lady falls head over heels for the chap and that's where the fun begins. It's just ok though. |
