Arsene Lupin returns. Well not quite as he has given up jewel robbery but someone else is trying to blame him for the theft of an emerald necklace. And he is supposed to be dead. A good mystery story that is enhanced by the sterling cast; Melvyn Douglas, delightful Virginia Bruce, Warren William, Monty Woolley, E. E. Clive (hilarious as usual) and George Zucco with a beard not to mention Vladimir Sokoloff and veteran Ian Wolfe who appeared in over 300 films and TV series. A fine bunch of thespians. There is a sort of romantic triangle that doesn't add much to the movie but otherwise the breezy plot moves along nicely. Franz Waxman provides a pleasant music score. An entertaining film.
