Spoiled carefree American playboy Neil McGill (Robert Young) misses his own wedding... again. He falls for mountain innkeeper Luise Anzengruber. She backs off after hearing about his marriage engagement. She goes on a mountain hike with Doctor Grauer and become trapped by an avalanche.
Abbie needs to be horrible in order for the audience to root for Neil to get together with Luise. I don't think the movie sets that up enough at the beginning. Robert Young is the amiable type but he's not really the romantic playboy type. His most well known works are Father Knows Best and Marcus Welby on TV well after this movie. It's not a recipe for romantic heat. Again, he's amiable with enough comedic touch and that helps.
