Uh oh. Can't believe I'd already bought this film once. At least realised we'd seen it before immediately. Not as funny as other Lubitsches but double romantic triangle and development of plot as characters do and don't find things out is wonderfully sophisticated (Samuel Raphaelson script, Melchior Lengyel play).
It's amusing to wonder whether Marlene told Charles Lang how she wanted to be lit - on this occasion I somehow doubt it.
