The Gay Deception
US (1935): Comedy
Mirabel (Frances Dee) wins a $5,000 lottery which will enable her to live like a queen in New York. There she meets Sandro (Francis Lederer), a bellboy who is really a prince, so she does get to be a queen after all. William Wyler's direction is nearly flawless. He wasn't Bette Davis' favorite director for nothing. It seems that he could do most anything. Also, watch for the wonderfully goofy Lennox Pawle, stately Alan Mowbray and instantly recognizable Akim Tamiroff in one of the many roles that made their faces well-known but not necessarily their identities household names.
