utterly charming, 27 January 2002
7/10
Author: Charles Herold (cherold) from United States

Charming is the perfect word for this movie. Dietrich is at her best as she charms her two beaus, the score is charming, and Rene Clair brings the same light touch he showed the next year in I Married a Witch. Quite funny, but more than any thing else, charming.
