Can an Insect Man and a Lady Sky Bug find happiness together? Impeccably mannered Lord Philip Rexford and vivacious American socialite Mary think so. They meet garbed as anthropods on their way to a costume ball, skip the soirée and fall in love. Soon, Mary becomes Lady Rexford, and the former party girl mends her ways -- until she runs into an old flame in Cannes. Several cocktails later, something almost happens. But Philip doesn't believe the almost. Norma Shearer, Robert Montgomery and Herbert Marshall each take one side of a love triangle in this glossy romantic comedy directed with panache by Edmund Goulding (Grand Hotel, Dark Victory). Enriching the love-among-the-rich fun: Mrs. Patrick Campbell, for decades the belle of the London stage, as jaunty Aunt Hetty.
