The Smiling Lieutenant

Maurice Chevalier laughing and loving again in Ernst Lubitsch's sparkling cocktail of romantic merriment

A frothy pre-code romantic comedy built on charm, flirtation, and the Lubitsch touch—all winks and sophisticated merriment with no real stakes.

An amorous lieutenant is forced to marry a socially awkward princess, though he tries to keep his violin-playing girlfriend on the side.
