Plot

His first major American film, a comedy of marital intrigue.

Sinekatalog’s take

Ernst Lubitsch's first major American comedy tangles two couples in a bedroom farce of flirtation and jealousy. Witty, sophisticated and economical, with Monte Blue and Marie Prevost, it is the template of the Lubitsch touch.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
