Besides the fact that, yes, the sexual politics is quite old fashioned and I've been spending the past three months watching all of Lubitsch's silents so I'm kinda starved of sound Lubitsch, I really enjoyed this. For an early sound film is remarkably well put together and not really wobbly at all! Just silly, charming, and oh so incredibly horny. I look forward to more Lubitsch musicals.
