Nora Taylor has $37,000,000 but thinks every man she meets prefers her bankbook figure to her own, and that includes her current fiancé, Paul Chevron, who has $48,000,000 of his own. Paul goes to Brazil to play some polo, and Nora follows along. There, she meets and falls for Roberto Santos, whom she thinks has no money, who is really overjoyed when he discovers she has a lot of money. This depresses her somewhat. But, this being a big-budget MGM film, which means that the two top-billed characters have to end up together, winds up with Metro-plot-218 that says Roberto has a few potatoes (or bananas) of his own and is just pleased to find out she isn't a gold digger after his money. The rich get richer and the poor need not apply.

| User ReviewMichael TWell mounted Lana Turner vehicle that takes her south of the border for romance in South America. The only reason I watched this film is because I'm a huge Ricardo Montalban and not at all in an ironic way. If you watch Montalban's early Hollywood films, he has an amazing screen presence, especially in his few leading roles where he wasn't playing stereotypical ethnic parts like he does here, he really did deserve to have been a major star. This film is absolute fluff, but it's well made fluff from director Mervyn LeRoy that features a handsome cast, that includes beside Turner and Montalban, John Lund, Louis Calhern, Jean Hagen, and Rita Moreno. |
| User ReviewAshley B5.5/10. Routine story, predictable, not very original but still entertaining. Very good production. The sets and costumes are all first rate. The cast is fine, no one stands out much. Jean Hagen is good in a supporting role. |
| User ReviewAshley HThere's a reason this is one of Miss Turner's more obscure titles. Lesser Lana with plush trappings but a silly story line with horribly dated gender attitudes. Lana's clothes are beautiful but her hair is shellacked into place throughout, its not unattractive but is strangely immobile. |
