BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

Iseerphia All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

Smoreni Zmaj It is considered one of the top 100 films of all time. Honestly, I do not see why. A smart, witty romantic comedy, a cute movie for one watching, but really nothing special.6,5/10

e-70733 From the script story to the completed film, it is a perfect and beautiful hoax. Thus, the swindler robbed the lady's strongbox gracefully, and the movie controlled the audience's emotion delicately. Therefore, the essence of the so-called Lubitsch touch actually is such a kind of aesthetic feeling of script construction and a kind of expression of the deliberate atmosphere with slight sorrow. Therefore, incomparable romance and sensitivity can be born naturally in a old fashion Hollywood story.

dailyshampoo48 Billy Wilder was supposedly influenced by Ernst Lubisch. I can see this a little bit as they have the same general approach. However, Billy Wilder was one of the greatest film makers of all time, while Ernst Lubisch was a talentless hack."But!" you cry, "dailyshampoo48, how can you make such an outrageous claim when everyone knows what a witty, intelligent and acclaimed film this is!" "But!" I will respond, "you are mistaking faux-highbrow small talk for well-written dialogue! You are are mistaking energetic gesticulation for quality acting!" "But!" you will exclaim, "look at all the lengthy, sophisticated reviews here on IMDb! All the smart people know it's a good movie. Why don't you?" "But!" I will tell you, "I am a smart person too. However, I am a smart person with taste. And I am an honest smart person. When I watch bad movies (and I hardly ever do) I never shy away from stating my opinion. And here I tell you, THE EMPEROR HAS NO CLOTHES." "B-b-but!" you stutter, "but sophistication! But elegance!" "But wrong! Also, Miriam Hopkins and Kay Francis are the two most obnoxious actresses to ever grace the silver screen. Lubisch had a real gift for picking terrible acting talent but these two take the cake." "B-but!" "But no! You lose! Good day, sir! I SAID GOOD DAY!"

richard-1787 The line "they don't make movies like that anymore" is one of the most overused in talking about pictures, but in this case it is true. This is a remarkable example of the sort of sophisticated, innuendo-laced light comedy that Hollywood was making until the Hays Code put an end to them. There is not one crude line; we never see anything sexier than a kiss, and they are far from torrid. But this movie implies sex, and more interestingly sexual intrigue and ion, throughout. The duologue is uniformly wonderful, with lines that you will never forget. I can't say there is any real substance to this picture. There isn't. But it is gossamer of the finest quality. Herbert Marshall, who usually strikes me as a cypher, here shows what made him so popular for awhile: he has a wonderful voice, which he can shape and mold to imply whatever he wants. Miriam Hopkins' charms still generally elude me, though she is good in the opening scene. Kay Francis is much more enjoyable here delivering double-entendres than in the sort of heavy parts she got assigned to too often. In short, everything is wonderful.I couldn't believe how fast this movie flew by. There was not a dead moment. This is not a celluloid masterpiece, another Citizen Kane or Les Règles du jeu. But it is one remarkable, sophisticated comedy. You will definitely enjoy it.-------------------------------I watched it again tonight, and still found it enjoyable. The dialog is clever, the tempo just right and never lags. As I wrote before, it's a piece of fluff, but a perfectly-paced, perfectly-acted one that will never let you down, even for a moment. Not as good as the Lubitsch movies with Chevalier and MacDonald, but still a fun hour plus.
