IMDB
When an old man gives a young woman some money to pay her rent it sets off a chain of events leading to the woman leaving her husband to find a rich man. She ends up meeting one on a train to Florida. Soon she's on the man's boat, but her husband shows up in Florida and manages to catch up with her. She tells her new rich boyfriend that he's her sister, and the rich man's sister becomes attracted to him, leaving his wife jealous.
Really good old comedy with some really despicable main characters. Mostly, it's just a silly movie that is well made and has some laughs. Not a bad way to spend an hour and a half.
8/10
