Robber: Come with me. I’ll drop you somewhere in the suburbs, untouched.
Baroness Teri von Horhenfels: Untouched? In the suburbs? Oh, no! No, that doesn’t intrigue me at all!

I rewatched this delightful farce without realizing I had already reviewed it here.  If possible, I enjoyed it even more the second time.  Powell’s pairing with Francis is second only to his screen “marriage” to Myrna Loy.  Kay is the more sly of the two. Highly recommended.
