Commentaire à la une

A gem whose DVD release would be an act of kindness

This is a wonderful companion to TROUBLE IN PARADISE, also featuring the immortal and neglected Kay Francis; it features the great William Powell in one of his most unrivaled moments on screen. Another great one from Dieterle who also directed the American classic DEVIL AND DANIEL WEBSTER, which was recently released on DVD. Be nice to see this other classic of his become available. I viewed this on TCM and was entranced by the sparkling dialog; I wondered again why this effect seems impossible to achieve nowadays - was it that so many of these early actors had honed their talents on the stage? I would like to see this released on a disc with HIGH PRESSURE, another early Powell.

Anecdotes
Kay Francis as Baroness Teri says "In the morning, a cocktail. In the afternoon, a man. In the evening, Veronal." Veronal is an old brand name of barbital pills, the first commercial barbiturate. It was prescribed as a sleep aid from 1903 until the 1950s.

Gaffes
When the police let go of the rope they are pulling Johann Christian Lenz of the Vienna Protection Agency out of the well with, he doesn't immediately fall but slowly drifts back down into the well.
