Yes! There is nothing funnier than infidelity, except maybe...ummm... Everything. Infidelity seems to have been Hollywood's favorite topic from the time movies could be made. I think they had squeezed every drop out of that topic by 1933 to the point it didn't interest me at all anymore.
Within the first fifteen minutes Count von Rischenheim (Lawrence Grant) was at the home of Prince Alfred (Nils Asther) trying to find his wife (Dorothy Revier) as she hid in the other room; all the while the butler, Josef (Paul Lukas), tried to help his boss to keep the woman hidden.
Later, when the butler, Josef, was on a train he met a woman named Marie (Elissa Landi). Josef pretended to be a prince while Marie pretended to be a married lady (by lady I mean a woman of high class). Josef didn't care a bit that she was "married," he still wanted her.
From the train ride on until I turned off this dreadful movie, Josef and Marie catted around. Besides the whole ordeal being terrible unfunny as they pretended to be something they weren't, the intrusive musical soundtrack ruined whatever wasn't already ruined by the script. It was a comical soundtrack as if I was watching a folly, and they didn't know when to stop playing the music.
