Directed by Ernst Lubitsch • 1938 • United States
Starring Claudette Colbert, Gary Cooper, Edward Everett Horton
The great Ernst Lubitsch lends his famously sophisticated touch to this whimsical farce about a spoiled American millionaire who uses his wealth to lure an attractive French aristocrat into marriage. As the oft-married playboy and his reluctant new bride, Gary Cooper and Claudette Colbert are at their most elegant and lighthearted, while the script—written by Charles Brackett and Billy Wilder in the first of their celebrated collaborations—sparkles with screwball witticisms.
