Monte Carlo

Newly Added • 1h 30m

Directed by Ernst Lubitsch • 1930 • United States
Starring Jack Buchanan, Jeanette MacDonald, Claude Allister

Jeanette MacDonald's independent-minded countess leaves her foppish prince fiancé at the altar, and whisks herself away to the Riviera. There, she strikes the fancy of the sly Count Rudolph (theater veteran Jack Buchanan), who poses as a hairdresser to get into her boudoir. Ernst Lubitsch’s follow-up to THE LOVE PARADE shows even more musical invention, and presents MacDonald at her sexily haughty best.
