Witty and Sophisticated
In this surprisingly risqué film made before the Hays code, two men and a woman share an apartment in Paris and talk openly about sex. It’s fun to watch, thanks to the witty and sophisticated dialog of Noel Coward, the screenplay by Ben Hecht, and of course the masterful direction of Lubitsch. March is wonderful as a struggling playwright. Hopkins has one of her best roles as a free-loving woman who loves two men but marries a third. Lubitsch elicits a fine comedic performance from Cooper as a hot-tempered artist. In a typical role, Horton plays a stuffed shirt. There’s no music, which could make things seem static, but Lubitsch keeps it moving at a breezy pace.

Nice touch!
I bought the Gary Cooper collection because of “Design for Living”. It didn’t disappoint me. This movie is classy, it’s full of wit and sexually free. I found the plot intriguing, the set excellent, the costumes fine and Lubitsch inspired together with Ben Hecht (lovely and smart screenplay).

The movie shows 4 actors only, which could be considered its strength if the actors were all good. 1 out of 4 is good and 2 out of 4 are really good. 1 out of 4 has got nothing to do with such environments, dialogs and sophisticated comedy. Gary Cooper does not fit to me. He’s a sort of amazing good looking and so dashing statue to look at. Nothing more. He just doesn’t look comfortable in acting spoiling intellectual shades. He doesn’t work to me.

Miriam Hopkins is good, she’s mischievous, charming and funny. She plays the free woman with intelligence, combining sensuality and brain. Audience – even the male one – does understand why she can’t choose between the two guys and she conquers it. Every woman would like to be her; that’s the message she strongly brought on the screen: being free of living life the way she desires.

Edward Everett Horton is perfect, hilarious and very elegant. He’s the right choice to play Plunkett Inc. and he didn’t let it down. He IS Plunkett Inc.!

Fredric March is so charming, sophisticated, sexy and so right for Thomas. He does much better here than in other movies (e.g. Anna Karenina) which could seem more suitable for him. He’s perfect for Lubitsch so much and his performance is a top one. He’s a fine comedian too, he’s measured and passionate at the same time and he’s really handsome. His sensuality is made up either by intellectual attitude or a physical one.

Don’t know why he’s been forgotten, a wonderful actor like he is. Can anybody tell me?

I do suggest to get this movie and to enjoy it since it’s really a nice touch in our collection. We do need nice and elegant touches. Especially nowadays.
