U.S., 1932
Directed by Ernst Lubitsch
Starring Maurice Chevalier, Jeanette MacDonald, Genevieve Tobin
Approx. 80 min.

Effortlessly saucy romp with Chevalier and MacDonald as two of the five sides of a marital roundelay, Lubitsch’s camera panning and tracking through their Deco home, even following them to bed.

4K restoration by Universal Pictures. Restoration services conducted by NBCUniversal StudioPost.

Presented with support from The Robert Jolin Osborne Endowed Fund for American Classic Cinema of the 1930s, ’40s, and ’50s and The Ada Katz Fund for Literature in Film

Reviews

“The excellent script [from the play by Lothar Schmidt] is replete with many niceties and touches which Lubitsch has skillfully dovetailed, without overdoing the detail.”
– Variety

“Lubitsch’s final pre-Code musical is one of his sauciest escapades.”
– The Criterion Collection
