Review of That Lady in Ermine (1948) by Matt M — 02 Jan 2014
The 18th century duchy of Bergamo is in grave danger when it is taken over by a cold-hearted Hungarian Colonel. However, his plans for grandeur may be upset by a strange attraction for the portrait of 'The Lady in Ermine', that causes him to fall for her look-alike, Countess Angelina.
The film is somewhat of an inconsistent mess, and the elements of the musical, period drama and romantic comedy do not gel. However, a big reason could have been Lubitsch's death eight days into the production.
Fairbanks' performance may be the only thing worthy of note.
