Sean Axmaker

Ernst Lubitch’s first film in color is a gorgeous evocation of idealized Americana through three generations and a charming if meandering romantic comedy.

... This comedy is quite audacious in its liberal idea of what virtue looks like.

What begins as a sprightly comedy eventually turns into an affecting look at loneliness, ageism and mortality.

The genius of Ernst Lubitsch is appreciated, but it's not at the level of his best films. [Full Review in Spanish]

Count German expat Ernst Lubitsch among the directors whose films require a darkened theater and a willing audience to even work -- you just won't get him at home on your flatscreen.
