Gary Cooper, Claudette Colbert, David Niven, and even Franklin Pangborn. Who could ask for bigger hollywood names, all in one film?? Nicole (Colbert) sells Michael (Cooper) a royal bathtub, but there are bumps all along the way. and don't forget the hilarious Edward Horton.. he's Nicole's father. they had ALL been in the film business for YEARS, so they were all pros by this time. Cooper is his usual cardboard, collected self. Nicole is worried that Michael has been married so many times, but they get married anyway. It's not much of a marriage, so Michael takes up reading. and one of the books is "The Taming of the Shrew"! and Nicole IS totally a shrew... she marries him, but then won't let him near her. gets pretty silly. lots of fast talking. All's well that ends well! A fun comedy from Ernst Lubitsch and Billy Wilder. based on the play by Alfred Savoir, from fifteen years prior! It's fun if you just go with the flow.
