Raffles is a badly dated, but entertaining film. The days of lordships and fat ladies wearing expensive jewelry have gratefully ended. The cartoonish aspects of this film are rescued by the nuanced performance of Ronald Colman, who is always dependable is any role. Kay Francis is, however, fairly unattractive, and a poor actress to boot. Why she was a star is beyond my comprehension. She proved to be box office poison later in the decade. A good yarn worth seeing just for Colman.
