A minor musical, to be sure, but some of the dialogue reminds us that things have not changed much. How about the bell boy who, when asked by the hick from Vermont, if she should tip him, says with Scottish reserve: "yes, it has been done.". When Tony Martin, appliance magnate, proposes to Vera Ellen, he ups the ante with "You don't know what you're getting -- a washer that irons!".
A musical with bagpipes! A lord who acknowledges that he needs tourist dollars (before he admits that he needs to marry for money), an American that can out-duel a French customs-clerk!
How can one not be affected by this innocent charm!?
