🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Lubitsch constructs the farce on the playful inversion of social roles and the pursuit of freedom within constraints. He relies on visual wit and brisk editing to explore marital discord through a lens of mischievous charm.
What lingers after the final reel is the delight of a clever charade, executed with a silent era's precise physical comedy. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Ernst Lubitsch
