| User ReviewJames-Masaki RImaginative satire of wealth, desperation, love. |
| User ReviewDavey MBlissfully bizarre silent comedy directed by Lubitsch. To modern sensibilities the pacing may lag a bit at times, but for the most part this is a very tight, very funny, and visually striking bit (the design is marvelous) of film--it's not hard to see why Lubitsch was seen by his peers and the next generation as the absolute greatest. Also, Curt Bois is pretty awesome. |
| User ReviewKevin WA spoiled heiress decides she must marry a royal. First of an Ossie Oswalda double feature directed by Ernst Lubitsch. An ostentatiously odd movie. |
