Review of The Smiling Lieutenant (1931) by Adam S — 16 Aug 2011
Maurice Chevalier has a nice problem, blonde Princess Miriam Hopkins and brunette violinist Claudette Colbert both love him, in this frothy, partly musical romantic comedy from Ernst Lubitsch. Chevalier is perky as usual, but it's Colbert and Hopkins (soon to star in the Lubitsch masterpiece "Trouble in Paradise"), and Charlie Ruggles as a sweet, kindly King, that make it so charming.
Lubitsch's first collaboration with Samson Raphaelson, the writer of some of his best films to come.
