Wit and melody swing through Maurice Chevalier's latest picture.

I'll be honest, Claudette Colbert is very cute and she made this movie for me. The plot has a somewhat dippy Maurice Chevalier marrying a Princess (Miriam Hopkins) to avoid an international incident, thus breaking his lover's (Colbert's) heart. When she arranges to meet up with him anyway, she's caught by Hopkins, and after a mutual, (hilariously overwrought) cry, she tells Hopkins (in song) that in order to keep Chevalier, "Jazz Up Your Lingerie". The movie is pre-Code which made scenes like that possible, as well as allude to unmarried sex between Colbert and Chevalier, and Hopkins's desire to consummate her marriage. This naughtiness is also part of the movie's charm. It's interesting that the movie wrong-foots us by having the 'wrong girl' get the man. A big hit in 1931 and nominated by the Academy for Best Picture, it's still very watchable 85 years later.

I really enjoyed this movie, it was hilarious. Sure, it's got a pretty normal romance going on, but it is one of those comedies with a lot of mistakes that turn out very funny. The cast is great too, I loved Chevalier and Colbert and Hopkins together as the love triangle. If you like them or just enjoy romantic comedies, I recommend this.

This is one odd movie, made even more obvious when you consider it was made in 1931. Maurice Chevalier (who might as well be eating the scenery) is the title Lieutenant, and his casual smile at his love interest one day lands him in an international affair with a passing princess who assumes the smile was for her. And yes, 90 minutes of plot were made from this. I will admit, the movie is much better than I make it sound. It's odd (Chevalier's addressing the audience is scary...), it's a pretty tight story (it wraps up nicely) and it has good music (this is a musical, after all). Speaking of which, I think a whole star in my score is for the song "Jazz Up your Lingerie" and a line from some song which, I swear, sounded like "There's paradise in every slice of bacon."

A movie where everyone just wants to get laid, and eventually does. It might be more of a kinky thrill if it didn't also have a bizarrely conservative pro-monogamy, pro-marriage theme. That, and the ending vaguely reminded me of GREASE.
