Nothing amazing in terms of moviemaking, but amazing in its boldness: this must be the closest I can remember that a 1930s film has come to actually depicting lovemaking (of course it doesn't depict, it implies, but what lovemaking! It lasts about two hours, and the woman is supposed to be married to someone else in the next morning). Claudette Colbert and Fredric March are so convincing as lovers that you may wonder if they were really in love on the set! And the film scores more points for not making the "other man", the prince Colbert is set to marry, an one-dimensional "villain"; instead, he is kind, intelligent and compassionate. **1/2 out of 4.
