Graham is a ne'er-do-well who has exhausted the huge trust fund he was left at his father's death. Understandably shaken, Graham decides to follow the solution proposed by his live-in man (George Rose): marry a rich woman. Borrowing some money from his hated uncle (Coco), he eventually sets his sights on the ungainly and myopic Henrietta, a botanist who is heir to a huge fortune. After marrying her, Graham plans to kill Henrietta when they make her yearly trip to the mountains. Before that, though, he must deal with Henrietta's crooked lawyer (Jack Weston) and servant (Roberts). Will love ever find a a way? (jakelijan virallinen teksti)

Walter Matthau isn't typically one of my favorite actors, but I have to hand it to him for his portrayal of laid-back crooks, especially in the role of Henry Graham. Surprisingly, the plot of the film exceeded my expectations for a romantic comedy. Perhaps it's because the romance wasn't overplayed, and the main character's sudden change in motivation didn't feel forced or unbelievable. Henry turned out to be a multifaceted character, showcasing talents beyond what one might expect from a lavish spender, occasional Ferrari driver, and polo player. He proved himself as an organizer, accountant, cook, and self-taught toxicologist, which earned my admiration. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the film, but I was left somewhat disappointed by the abrupt ending, which I felt could have been better developed. / Lesson learned: You simply can't do without basic pesticides.
