"The Princess Comes Across" is a mixed genre of comedy, a con caper, murder mystery, and romance, with a good dose of music as well. It's almost too much to pack into 76 minutes and expect a film to be outstanding or exceptional, but this superb cast pulls it off nicely for a very good comedy.
Review. 'The Princess Comes Across' was billed as 'a curious blend of comedy, murder-mystery, romance and music'; the 'curious' is certainly without question, but the degree to which the mix blends is, I feel, open to some doubt. On the whole this is mainly satisfactory from the comedy angle.
