Play Noel Coward, scr. Ben Hecht
Plenty of subtle Lubitsch stuff - the flowers that get kicked over, her bed being dismantled and moved, dust off mattress, bedroom screen, silent moments. Seems to have no music. Very risqué and funny material.
Billy Wilder had a sign hanging in his office: "How would Lubitsch do it?" (which tells you a lot).
Frederic March and Gary Cooper make a fine pairing, Miriam Hopkins, Edward Everett Horton, Franklin Pangborn, Jane Darwell.
