We Have Our Moments (1937) in Color — Starring Sally Eilers & James Dunn

Plot Summary

Mary Smith is a bright, attractive, and thoroughly sensible young schoolteacher from a small American town who has saved for years to afford a dream vacation touring the great cities of Europe. She is practical, organized, and determined to experience every cultural highlight on her carefully planned itinerary. Nothing in her orderly life has prepared her for the spectacular chaos that is about to engulf her the moment she steps aboard the ocean liner.

The trouble begins when she encounters a charming and mysterious fellow passenger who seems determined to involve her in his affairs despite her vigorous protests. He is handsome, witty, and maddeningly evasive about his identity and his reasons for traveling to Europe. What Mary does not know is that he is fleeing from law enforcement and that the jewels he is desperate to protect are at the center of an international criminal investigation.

As the ship makes its way across the Atlantic, Mary finds herself increasingly and unwillingly drawn into a web of comic complications that include mistaken identities, romantic misunderstandings, encounters with bumbling detectives, and the attentions of a magnificently eccentric European nobleman who attaches himself to her with devoted and hilarious persistence. Despite her best efforts to maintain her dignity and her carefully planned schedule, the adventure sweeps her along in an escalating comedy of errors.

By the time the ship docks in Europe, Mary is thoroughly entangled in a plot that involves stolen jewels, pursuing policemen, romantic rivals, and the growing realization that the charming rogue she has been trying to avoid may be both more dangerous and more genuinely appealing than she wants to admit. The film builds to a satisfying and romantic conclusion that proves even the most sensible schoolteacher can find adventure when she least expects it.
