ONE HOUR WITH YOU

Admittedly, only Lubitsch could achieve such a remarkable balance between elegance and sauciness, in a film that remains just as fresh despite its 80 years. Lubitsch's fondness for operetta and his unmistakable touch proved to be founding blocks and lasting influences for the still young genre of the musical. "One Hour with You" is effectively a remake of Lubitsch's 1924 comedy "The Marriage Circle". Andre is a Parisian doctor that remains steadily faithful to his wife, despite his female patients' frequent advances. But when Mitzi, his wife's best friend, insists on seeing him for treatment, she curiously seems about to succeed where every other siren has failed.
