I enjoyed this picture! Sophisticated, funny, smart, with terrific performances by everyone - including the glamorous Kay Francis. The camerawork was fantastic - Lubitsch's direction was years ahead of its time! The person I particularly liked, however, was Miriam Hopkins. I've never had the pleasure to see her work before, and she was so much fun to watch as a pickpocket helping thief and con-man Herbert Marshall with his plan to scam a rich woman (Francis). I'm sorry this is the only picture of hers I managed to catch during her "salute" day.
I give this one:

Have you seen Design for Living? Another great Hopkins pre-code performance!
I love how Hopkins and Marshall meet in this film, having stolen each others belongings! Haha.
No! I missed it! =(
Now I want to see all her stuff. LOL
Design for Living is on YouTube :D (In HQ too!)
Oh dear, what a predicament that we have such similar blog names! Don't worry about changing your name though - I'll go ahead and change mine!
Elizabeth - are you sure? You did have it first...I only want to be fair. ^_^
Hopkins really stood out in this movie for me as well. She's great in almost everything I've seen her in. Other Hopkins must sees are Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and The Smiling Lieutenant.
Jenny: I have the Smiling Lieutenant thanks to my friend Amy Jeanne...I must pop that one in!
Thanks for commenting - now I can follow your fantastic blog. Yay! ^_^
