IMDB

Ginger Rogers stars as a woman who has just married an Austrian baron in an effort to climb the social ladder. An American reporter (Cary Grant) follows them as they honeymoon, so he can investigate the baron's Nazi ties. As Grant follows them from country to country, he falls in love with Ginger Rogers. When Rogers learns that her husband is a Nazi, she fakes her death and runs off with Grant.
While Rogers and Grant are great and have good on-screen chemistry, the film can't decide whether it's a comedy or a drama. Either would be fine, but as it stands, the movie comes off a bit clunky. This is not worth watching, but it's not terrible.

5.5/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
