The third entry in our SCREWBALLS! series running all June. With introduction by our friend and famed film programmer Elliot Lavine.
A daffy American chorus girl (Claudette Colbert again!), stranded and broke in Paris, is befriended by a millionaire (John Barrymore) who sets her up in a scheme to break up the affair his wife (Mary Astor) is having with another man! In the meantime, a love-struck cab driver (Don Ameche). This dazzling screwball farce was written by Billy Wilder and Charles Brackett shortly before Wilder began his own directing career. Directed with a dedicated sense of finesse by Mitchell Leisen.
