By 1931, the romantic sophistication of the "Lubitsch touch" was a recognized and marketable commodity. One Hour with You, a musical remake of Lubitsch's The Marriage Circle (1924) and a Best Picture Oscar nominee in 1932, stars Maurice Chevalier and Jeanette MacDonald as the happily married-shockingly so-Parisian couple whose inevitable infidelities seem forced upon them by the rapacious flirtations of Genevieve Tobin. Utilizing Chevalier's frequent asides to the audience ("What would you do?"), One Hour with You is more direct in its leering innuendo than any other Lubitsch comedy of the thirties. With a procession of double entendres, hidden meanings, mistaken assumptions, and off-camera assignations, the film is a virtual catalog of the stylistic devices used by Lubitsch throughout his career. The final scene, with its relay of looks and pantomimed promptings, is one of the most delightful in the Lubitsch oeuvre.-Gregory LukowPreservation funded by The David and Lucile Packard Foundation.
