Andre (Maurice Chevalier) and Colette (Jeanette MacDonald) have been married for three years when temptation pays a visit. Colette's schoolmate, Mitzi (Genevieve Tobin), stops by and takes a liking to Andre. While Mitzi's advances toward Andre intensify, Colette is being romantically pursued by Andre's good friend Adolph (Charles Ruggles). Colette, oblivious to Mitzi's intentions, assumes her husband's infidelities are focused elsewhere. Similarly, Andre doesn't suspect his pal's advances.

Lubitsch wants to implicate the spectator in the joke: the sly, ebullient Chevalier breaks the fourth wall early in the film, addressing the audience, men and women, making them co-conspirators.

...a decent-enough endeavor that generally does feel like it should be much, much better...

The argument is reduced to exposing how the intrigues of a coquettish lady are futile in undoing the happy movie marriage between Maurice [Chevalier] and Jeanette [MacDonald].

B+

Co-directed by Lubitsch and George Cukor, ultimately this Oscar-nominated film bears the signature of the former, or what is known as the Lubitsch touch.

One Hour with You is less interesting in its shaky second act and the musical numbers are too short, but it's a very frank, sexually provocative for its time romantic comedy with another strong showcase of Maurice Chevalier/Jeanette MacDonald charming duo. Its honesty and particularly playful dialogue and humor are the standouts.
