Quiz
Although not often discussed among the most daring pre-Code titles, this film features one of the most ribald sequences of the genre - the scene in which the Duke of Charmerace (John Barrymore) finds Sonia (Karen Morley) stark naked in his bed as a well-attended house party swirls on the floor below. After a charming, lewd exchange, the scene ends with the Duke dowsing the lights and helping Sonia put her gown on, with only their voices heard on a pitch-black screen.

Blooper
Lupin steals the Mona Lisa by wrapping the canvas around his umbrella. The Mona Lisa is painted on a wood panel.

Citazioni
Arsène Lupin: [fetching Sonia's evening gown from the maid and holding it up to admire it] Well, here we are. It's very nice! It's a little naughty. It's very ni - Do you think your father the general would approve of this?
Sonia: My father the general always said that a gentleman was a man who never went to bed with his spurs on.
Arsène Lupin: Isn't that a pity. I'm so fond of horses. I could give up riding...?
Sonia: Give me that dress!
Arsène Lupin: You can't get into it alone
Sonia: The maid will help me.
Arsène Lupin: The maid? I know more about unhooking than any maid in Paris.
Sonia: Yes, but I want this one hooked.
[she reaches for the dress, which he holds out of reach]
Sonia: I'm going to stay right here in this bed until you leave this room!
[Chamerace walks over to the window and prepares to toss out the dress]
Sonia: What are you doing?
Arsène Lupin: Well, if you're going to stay in bed you won't need the dress.

Curiosità sui crediti
The opening title doesn't list the Barrymores separately, but instead as a pair, "John and Lionel Barrymore."

6/10

A French version of Raffles

A chance to see John and Lionel Barrymore in the same film is never to be passed up. MGM dragged up Arsene Lupin from the Edwardian era. The title character is a French version of Raffles, the titled gent who likes to step out every so often as an amateur thief.

Like Ronald Colman and David Niven in Raffles, Barrymore is as debonair and charming as they playing the titled thief. His Clark Kent persona is the Duke of Charace, but when he's working he's Arsene Lupin. He even sends notes to the police signed Arsene Lupin.

The man assigned to catching the notorious Arsene Lupin is Inspector Lionel Barrymore who has a good reputation. But Lupin proves to be a bedeviller. Never mind say Lionel's superiors, your job is on the line if you don't get him within a week. They make no bones about it, he robs the rich and the rich pay our taxes.

The party of skinflint old nobleman Tully Marshall is the target and it's a game of cat and mouse between the Barrymore brothers.. Lionel brings in reinforcements with the beautiful Karen Morley, but John is up to just about anything Lionel can muster.

Arsene Lupin is old fashioned, but the brothers are incredible to watch even after over 80 years. It's worth a look.
