Review of That Lady in Ermine

Much has been written about this film and much said about the loss, due to death, of Ernst Lubitsch....this film was his project and soon it all began, he died and the heavy handed Otto Preminger took over this fairy tale with heaps of satire and fun.....so we don't know how the film would have turned out with the brilliant Lubitsch touch.....However we have Grable, always a fun and charmer in her down to earth gal like way...matched with Douglas Fairbanks Jnr....and odd match yet rather entertaing as a match....he was more Hollywood royalty and even became a British Knight, care of the King....then there is what is left of the brilliant composer Frederick Hollander (Dietrich's favourite) and then all of that brilliant support cast along with Fox's colour and wonderful sets.....it still is an entertainingly odd joy....it's fantasy is fun and the whole thing is more than fun...
