That Uncertain Feeling – 1941 Lubitsch
- A weaker effort (box office bomb not that that matters) from Lubitsch which is no insult but not enough to vie for one of his best or 1941’s best. A remake of his own work Kiss Me Again
- Breezy, it moves
- Lubitsch was a different kind of escapism in the depression era- rich, sophisticated (if not a little silly), idle rich, films- this is his first set in the US but it’s the Park Avenue upper crust
- Sig Ruman comes along and gives the film a shot of life—Melvyn Douglas, Burgess Meredith and Merle Oberon all equip themselves well in the love triangle leads
- The reoccurring hiccups and “keeks” joke—sexual double entendres — a trademark of Lubitsch
- “There’s nothing wrong with your marriage. You just have to resell it once in awhile”—haha
- Comedy of divorce, there’s a Hitler joke in there
- Witty dialogue transition titles
- Recommend
