The three Craig sisters live in Switzerland with their divorced mother. Their rich father is rumored to be remarrying to gold-digging socialite Donna Lyons with her conniving mother. The girls run away to New York to stop them and reunite their parents. They haven't seen their father since the divorce ten years ago. Lord Michael Stuart falls for middle sister Kay. The girls find an ally in their father's investment manager Bill Evans. Things get complicated when a misunderstand has Kay trying to set up Michael with Donna.
A young Deanna Durbin makes her film debut and uses her operatic voice to sing a few songs which leads a nice career in singing in the movies. The three girls need some better differentiating. In general, they scream girlishly and talk over each other a lot. They need more pronounced individual personalities. The movie only really gets funny when the misunderstanding leads to some good old fashion hijinks. I love the way Michael decides to handle the situation. It's sly and hilariously funny. The first half is rather bland but it improves markedly in the second half.
