• 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
