Plot
A man tells the devil about his life of romance.
Sinekatalog’s take
Ernst Lubitsch's witty comedy has a rakish man recounting his romantic past to the devil. Don Ameche and Gene Tierney are charming in a light, sophisticated Technicolor treat.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
