An extremely simple & familiar plot (rich, spoiled heiress loses everything, must learn to fend for herself), with strangely little of actual worth to say about wealth, class, family, romance, or anything else. Worse yet, the intention of the film from moment to moment is confusing. Humor? Poignancy? Drama? Not sure. There are some decent early-Hitchcock visuals to lean on (shot through champagne bubbles), & Balfour is an undeniably strong presence, neither of which make the storytelling of worth.
