A film that I view on a regular basis, each two or three years. It has the full Lubitsch touch, flowing like champagne. His greatest scholar, need I remind, was Billy Wilder, it is reported at his funeral to have said, when someone told him " terrible no more Ernest " " worse no more Lubitsch film "...
This play has the lightness of being, wonderfully played by Herbert Marshall, an english actor who lost leg in the first World war, his mate his sexy Miriam Hopkins and...Kay Rendall..You see we are in embriglio of senses, the setting is in France.
For those who did not see it ( is THAT possible? )
A must.
Follow Ups:
I got the DVD last year and have seen it twice, once with the Bogdanovich commentary. It has becaome a favorite and I, too, will bring it out every couple of years. How would you compare it to "The Lady Eve"?
If not you should absolutely. Do you have the early Lubitsch on LD with Maurice Chevalier and Jeannette MacDonald?
Fabulous!
No, I am relatively new to Lubitsch but I will check it out. Thanks,
regards, rico
I have seen it 20+ and it is always like the first time! Watch for E.E. Horton the most genius scene stealer of all time, and for the wonderful Cecil Aubrey, an English gentlemen of the purest kind, in film AND in life, what is a rarity in the buisness.....
I would not compare them but you ask...
Let say that " Trouble " is a champagne with very fine bubbles, the fancy kind, what people think maybe French..." The Lady " has not so fine bubbles, is more robust, more American, more healthy in a way, ( it has a too long scene near the head losing some steam...)
Refinement for the first against organic ( first this word was used for wine NOW for films..It will be the last time I do that..) for the other.
I would want to live without both of them.
