Starts with a cop arresting a couple who kisses in the park believing they are not married - because if they are, are the only ... Continues with a song to the magic of an alliance can: permission to make love all the time. Coninua with the best friend of the woman trying to seduce her husband's friend. And he gives, after resisting. It is the woman who pushes own, without knowing. Her husband's friend, nor cares if this is proof of divorce. "One time you" do not have some modesty.

We also do not have jokes in bad taste, it's all subtle, packed with songs, with lace cuffs long white dresses, created in uniform, very tall doors, the great world out of the 20s and has not yet shown the economic crisis that swept everything - even a civilization.

And it is a film that, like the best art, it brings learning or fighting, just sublimations, expressions of life, pleasure for the senses and the intellect. Infinitely futile, is a musical comedy about inevitalidade and refinements of adultery, made in a time before the entry into force of the Hays code, when the moral freedoms were unlimited in American cinema.

But it is not by showing that this movie is libertine, is the ease with which designs social convictions, a willingness to transgress the possible and the impunity of the conveniences that exceed. All done with supreme elegance, which Lubritsch - and only Lubritsch - knew. It is said that at his funeral (he died young, aged 55, in 1947), Billy Wilder and William Wyler were together at the end of the ceremony. Wilder sighed: "I will no longer Lubritsch." Wyler added: "Worse than that, we no longer have Lubritsch movies."

Personal comment:

Of course his other works are towering more than this, we must see them all, or discuss! But to me, "One Hour with You" is the ultimate expression of that dirt wash eyes the images that are out there, what makes the distinction sublime.
