a movie about a "playboy" who woos one woman and supposedly a few others, off screen. opening scene is awesome, the rest is a downright bore.

Lubitsch's worst film. Pointless. Nice Technicolor, though.

    "Eyes of the Mummy Ma" (1918)? "Madame DuBarry" (1919)? "Sumurun" (1920)? The Loves of Pharaoh (1922)? I would say his work with Pola Negri, albeit stunning to look at, is inferior to "Heaven Can Wait" (1943).

    You're right. I admit...I was thinking only of Hollywood fare.

A film that only Lubitsch could direct with such spectacular results.

I wasn't overly impressed with this when I saw it the first time a few years ago, despite the fact that it made me tear up a couple times and sob like a baby at one particular scene (the dance apart from the party). Though at the time I found it somewhat off-puttingly mannered and hokey, it's grown in my mind and I think about it often. I think I'm due to rewatch it.

This is pure cinematic gold.....just awesome!!!! Make sure you give it a spin even if that means exchanging some of your beetles for a copy!!!! With a stiff upper lip and a dose of mrs cooper cooper thrown in for good measure i can't recommend this enough!!!!

Being my first Lubitsch film, I was overtaken by the overwhelming charm of the script, the acting, the set design and the direction. The man certainly has his touch. I'm also a notorious devout follower of the tales of refined casanovas. The story book fashion of the story is sugary sweet and that's enough for me. Great movie.
