Laugh for laugh, the film stacks quite well against Lubitsch’s most lauded masterpieces.
Ernst Lubitsch started his career in broad slapstick, and a gleam of rowdy humor never fully left his work.
A delight for Ernst Lubitsch fans, and for anyone who thinks films from the late ’10s and early ’20s are mainly static chores.
An uproarious treat for fans of Ernst Lubitsch and silent comedy.
