Ah! Lubitsch. I tried quite a few times to speaks about his work, but there are almost no comments...For me one of the best director ever.

He had the Touch.

Patrick,
My Mother lent me the above named film and said "not his best, but a good starter film about real love". I was so impressed that I bought another 13 on tape. Aside from Bluebeard's, I really like the following 4.
To Be or Not to Be (1942) - Trouble in Paradise (1932)- The Shop Around the Corner (1940) - Ninotchka (1939)
Lubitsch was a great director...perhaps one of the finest ever.
I may have to watch all 5 of these again.

  Tosh, it was the first role for David Niven ever, and you can see his insecurity! Gary and Claudette wonderful, as the smaller roles, all Lubitsch long time actors.
  To Be... is maybe his masterpiece, last role for sweet Carole whose blonde hair was the last to be found from her plane accident.
  But there far more, all his films with Chevalier ( Maurice ) and two of my above all beloved films,
  " Design for Living " and " Heaven can Wait " both a gift from the Gods.
