Cluny Brown auf Freiersfüßen (1946)

Cluny Brown auf Freiersfüßen: Directed by Ernst Lubitsch. With Charles Boyer, Jennifer Jones, Peter Lawford, Helen Walker. A free-spirited parlor maid and a Czech refugee surprise an English village with their unconventional ways.

“The Lubitsch Touch is evident in this witty, intelligent film. Jennifer Jones shows a vivacity and humor she had never displayed before and would not again until her clever performance in u0026quot;Beat The Devilu0026quot;. In one amazing scene where she cannot resist showing her wares as a Plumber (to the disdain of the other party guests) she gets to play a reaction to the debacle that is amazing in its combination of pathos and hilarity. Very interesting character actors including a very, very funny Una Ou0026#39;Connor (whose dialogue consists mainly of incessantly clearing her throat), the light as a feather and dead on playing of Margaret Bannerman, and also a chance to see Helen Walker. Charles Boyer plays with his customary light touch and is the anchor to this film, but finally it is Jennifer Jonesu0026#39; performance that takes one breath away and stays with you long after youu0026#39;ve seen it.”
