Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Best for people who love a story about friendship and anyone who wants a laugh. The friendships are the beating heart of it.
The mood
Light and funny.
The pace
Zips along, at 1 hr 21 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1944: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.

In 1923, two young ladies depart, unescorted, for a tour of Europe. Their great naïvité and efforts to seem grown-up lead them into many comic misadventures.
