A Swedish princess boards an ocean liner in Europe en route to an acting career in America, and finds herself getting inconveniently attached to a bandleader returning home. To complicate matters, a blackmailer on board apparently knows she is not who she claims to be - and he has his sights set on other passengers with secrets of their own. In the meantime an escaped killer has stowed away under someone else's identity, and is killing again to cover his tracks; five international police detectives on board are heading the investigation to find him. When evidence points to the princess and bandleader, they must find the killer themselves - before he finds them.

| User ReviewGreg WCharming whimsy with a bit of mystery on the side. Carole and Fred spark off each other very well, with Alison Skipworth and William Frawley adding zip as their companions. |
| User ReviewAlex MI liked this one more than Hands Across the Table. The chemistry between the two felt more real in this one. The title should have been The King and the Princess. Good fun all around. |
| User ReviewAngela PReally enjoyable little movie. I loved Lombard's Garbo impression. Not quite as good as Hands Across the Table, but I'll gladly watch just about anything that involves Carole Lombard and Fred MacMurray. |
| User ReviewChrisanne SLombard(who is a great faker) and MacMurray are comfortable together. A fun little mystery. |
| User ReviewEvan HCarole Lombard and Fred MacMurray are great together in this mystery/comedy! |
| User ReviewKevin M. WCarole Lombard and Fred MacMurray are great together in this mystery/comedy! |
| User Reviewmonsieur rA more than boring film, it astounds me how lovers of 30's films defend them so. The Princess Comes Across is a hopelessly trivial and boring film on an ocean liner. The setting alone is boring let alone the murder plot that pretends to engross us. Carol Lombard might be the diva of film stars back in the day, but she must have got stuck with many a loser films like this one. Wonderful title and very creative, the pricess comes across as a phoney. She has that Swedish accent when she is royalty, with everyone kissing her ass, but behind closed doors she is American all the way. Profoundly disappointing film. Fred MacMurray is the tall bumbling American that chases Lombard, the stuck up royal crab. Of course, they get together, the original Odd Couple. |
