The (Ernst) Lubitsch touch's fingerprints are everywhere
in this romantic comedy about a jewel thief, the woman he loves, and the
(other) woman who loves him. Herbert Marshall, a first-rate performer
gifted with a mellifluous voice, plays the gallant thief. Kay Francis
is the rich heiress to whom he is attracted, and Miriam Hopkins is his
partner in crime and unofficial girlfriend. Marshall, comfortable both
in comedy and in drama, had a nearly forty-year film career. Among his
most impressive performances are the villain in Foreign Correspondent,
and two roles opposite Bette Davis: the cuckolded husband in The
Letter and the ailing husband in The
Little Foxes.
