One Hour with You

1h 17m

Directed by Ernst Lubitsch • 1932 • United States
Starring Maurice Chevalier, Jeanette MacDonald, Genevieve Tobin

Ernst Lubitsch reunites Maurice Chevalier and Jeanette MacDonald, this time as a seemingly blissful couple whose marriage hits the skids when her flirtatious school chum comes on to her husband a bit too strong. Necking in the park at nighttime, husbands and wives having casual dalliances, and a butler telling his master, “I did so want to see you in tights!”: it’s one of Lubitsch’s sauciest escapades and his final “pre-Code” musical.
