Charming little minx of a movie. Herbert Marshall is suave and witty as he insinuates himself into the romantic life and employ of the wealthy Madame Colet in order to rob her blind. The romantic chase is the true focus of the plot and Lubitsch fills the screen with clever wordless jokes and asides to tell the story of a genteel theif falling head over heels in love.

In a time before stringent censorship codes, one had to be clever about dealing with edgy comedy. And Ernst Lubitsch masterfully walks the lines with this fine film.

So good it almost makes you give up hope on finding a better comedy. To Be or Not to Be might be just as good, but it's hard to top this 1932 classic.

This film is completely hilarious, the characterisations impeccable. And beneath it's icy exterior is a soft heart.

The funniest (and sexiest) comedy to come out of classical Hollywood.
