Not only the man who refined Hollywood comedy with such masterpieces as Trouble In Paradise, The Shop Around The Corner, and To Be Or Not To Be, Ernst Lubitsch also helped invent the modern movie musical. With the advent of sound and audiences clamoring for "talkies," Lubitsch combined his love of European operettas and his mastery of film to produce this entirely new genre. These elegant, bawdy films, created before strict enforcement of the morality code, feature some of the greatest stars of early Hollywood (Maurice Chevalier, Jeanette MacDonald, Claudette Colbert, Miriam Hopkins), as well as that elusive style of comedy that would thereafter be known as "the Lubitsch touch." Includes: The Love Parade Monte Carlo The Smiling Lieutenant One Hour With You |
