-"Well, if you really know who the murderer is, why don't you tell them now?"
-"I would if I knew. The point is I don't."
-"Well, then why did you say you did?"
-"Because to catch a rat you have to have cheese."
-"I don't get it."
-"I'm the cheese. When the rat comes to nibble, bang goes the trap."
-"With the cheese in it."
-"Not if it's a smart piece of cheese."
A Swedish princess boards an ocean liner in Europe en route to an acting career in America, and finds herself getting inconveniently attached to a bandleader returning home. To complicate matters, a blackmailer on board apparently knows she is not who she claims to be - and he has his sights set on other passengers with secrets of their own. In the meantime an escaped killer has stowed away under someone else's identity, and is killing again to cover his tracks; five international police detectives on board are heading the investigation to find him. When evidence points to the princess and bandleader, they must find the killer themselves - before he finds them.

I didn't love this film. There were good moments but it fell a bit flat towards the end. For me the best part was spotting all the comedy-character actors - the film was positively stuffed with them.
I have always depended on the kindness of Strangers - and the bastards let me down! -

Have not seen this one - not sure if I even recall hearing of it. Seems like I should've bumped into it on TCM by now. Anyway, I love the snappy dialogue you find in a lot of 1930's films, so based on your OP I'll give this one a look one of these days.
