A millionaire's eighth bride sets out to cure his habit of divorcing.
Sinekatalog’s take
Ernst Lubitsch's comedy has Claudette Colbert tackling Gary Cooper's habit of marrying and divorcing. Sparkling and sophisticated, with a wry script by Billy Wilder and Charles Brackett, it is a lighter Lubitsch delight.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
