Arguably Ernst Lubitsch's best American silent. Classic, influential comedy about the flirtations and infidelities of several well-to-do characters in Vienna. A professor's wife flirts with her best friend's husband, who in turn flirts with a handsome young doctor. Sophisticated comedy, played with great elan by the actors. Remade by Lubitsch and George Cukor as the musical "One Hour With You".
