Country: US
Technical: bw 95m
Director: Mitchell Leisen
Cast: Claudette Colbert, Don Ameche, John Barrymore
Synopsis:
An American showgirl in Paris agrees to play along with a millionaire's scheme to make his errant wife jealous, while being pursued by an amorous cab driver bemused to discover she is a baroness!
Review:
Crackling Paramount sex comedy (within the constraints of the Code), written by Brackett and Wilder, and with premium acting talent for this kind of thing. Summing up a decade of Lubitsch and others' work in the genre, it would be replaced at the studio by the more frantic, less escapist and aristocratic, comedy of Preston Sturges.
