Riviera Rogues

Frank Morgan (Ingraham) is a con artist who invites his estranged daughter Florence Rice (Joyce) to have her wedding ceremony at his chateau. One problem - he doesn't have a chateau. He needs to find one quickly!

It's a funny film as Morgan gathers a cast of crooks to pose as his upper class friends in order to pull the wool over the eyes of his daughter, groom and the parents. His associates can't resist the temptation to fleece and scam - and Morgan has his work cut out trying to prevent their shady antics. It's a comedy so we get a satisfying resolution that is pretty obvious from the beginning but it's the feel-good comedic situations that provide the driving force of the film, led expertly by Morgan.

To the film's credit, there is no come-uppance for the cast. Hooray - the bad guys get a happy result! Not sure why the Hays Code nonsense didn't see them all punished but perhaps comedies weren't scrutinized so rigorously.
