Ernest Bliss (Cary Grant) is one of the idle rich and is challenged by his doctor Sir James Alroyd (Peter Gawthorne) to earn his living for a full year without dipping into his personal wealth. He takes on the challenge and guess what?.....he finds love....
This film ticks along at a nice pace as Cary Grant tries his hand at a couple of jobs. We encounter funny situations as he uses his wealth to provide for those that he encounters, eg, the order for 100 fireplaces and the moment he is sacked as a chauffeur and immediately buys the company and sacks the manager back and puts his chauffeur buddy in charge. There is also a funny situation when he finds himself back at his own flat which is being rented by a couple of crooks. We watch as the new tenants smoke his cigars and drink his port without realizing who he is.
Overall, this film is an entertaining 65 minutes. It says 80 minutes on the cover of the DVD that I bought, but it isn't. It's lightweight and amusing.
