Clearly the product of a gilded cocktail shaker. Bearing the stylistic stamps of both producer Lubitsch and director Borzage, this is a sophisticated romantic comedy about a lovely jewel thief, Madeleine de Beaupre (Dietrich), who tricks a gem dealer (Cossart) out of a priceless string of pearls and flees Paris after implicating a stuffy psychiatrist (Mowbray).
