Ellie
Andrews married society aviator King Westley but her father doesn’t approve of
the marriage. He takes her away on
his yacht but she jumps into the water and buys a ticket on a bus headed back
to New York. Right away she meets
reporter Peter Warne. He offers to
help her because he sees she doesn’t know a thing about taking care of
herself. He tells her he will tell
her father where she is if she doesn’t let him help her. In reality, he’s trying to get a very
good newspaper story, at least that’s what he planned in the beginning.
This
is good, it doesn’t seem dated at all except for the wonderful old Greyhound
buses and cars. All along you
think you know where this is going but you’re not sure until the end. 3 ½* (I liked this movie)
