- Quotes
Mary: Listen, I tell you what. We'll go up to my sister Sylvia's. There's some fun going on up there! Do you like mad parties?
Lord Rexford: Well, yes, I-I think I do. Thank you very much.
Mary: Good! What's your name?
Lord Rexford: Rexford.
Mary: Rexford... well, you run along home and get on a nice little dinner dress and pick me up in an hour. How's that?
Lord Rexford: Right!
Mary: Right! No, wrong! I'll pick you up. That'll be good and step on it!

Lyrics by Arthur Freed
Played as part of the score throughout
The Vacation Romance turns serious when the Lord is supposed to go back to the UK and he asks Mary to marry him. It's made clear that they were already having sex and that he knows of her "past" flings with other men. Mary resists at first, worried how he'd feel later on about marrying a woman who has been around a few times, but gives in.
"A ring in the nose and a beating every Saturday night, please!"
A few years later we see that they are still happily in love ... or perhaps I should say -nauseatingly- in love because they lay it on thick when they get all lovey-dovey.
The Lord has to go away on a business trip to the US and can't take Mary, so he leaves her with his Aunt Heddy who lures her away to Cannes for the duration. It's there that she runs into an old flame, Tommy (Robert Montgomery), and things get complicated. They get drunk and exchange a kiss. That gets Tommy's engines going and he goes after Mary even though he knows she is married!
What follows is a bit of comedy, a bit of melodrama, and a lot of business about Mary's scandalous past (and present).
"In New York you were the kind of girl who didn't stop at a kiss!"
It's an interesting story with some great actors and clever dialogue.
Recommended!
