Litvak fails to convince. Charles Boyer and Claudette Colbert couldn’t be more charming, the playing has rhythm and wit, some great lines too. But the Banker’s family couldn’t be more irritating, their playing uneven, and the politics are muddled at best. There were problems with the sound at the Ritrovato screening. The opening shot of the band playing the 14th of July does the show the resources of a big studio at its peak.
