Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Edward G. Robinson says, "Revenons a nos moutons," he is using a French catch-phrase that literally means "Let's get back to the sheep" and is used to mean "Let's get back to the point at hand." The phrase comes from the French play "La Farce de Maitre Pathelin," in which a legal case about sheep keeps getting sidetracked in comical ways, and the judge has to keep saying it.
- GoofsDamon says he played Rastignac in a performance of the play La Fille du Regiment. This is an opera, and there is no character of that name in it. Rastignac is a character in the novels of Balzac.

Featured review
This movie is a nice little gem, mainly for the witty dialog and impressive rank of actors who clearly enjoyed their work. No surprise there -- just look at the writers, source material and cast. Even the supporting players had great lines that they delivered with gusto. None of it is very realistic, but the set-up is great, much of the acting is over-the-top fun, and there is a great deal of humor. The finale is interesting -- it won't please everyone, but it is even-handed -- both pre-code and code aspects. See it and you will know what I mean. Incidentally, as another reviewer here noted, the TV Guide review (you have to go to the TV Guide website to see it) is WRONG about important parts of the plot and especially the ending. It is as though their reviewer did not see the movie!
