My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

One Hour With You (1932)

This Ernst Lubitsch film starring Maurice Chevalier is a film about a loyal husband getting seduced by his wife's good friend.  Meanwhile his wife's being admired by his close friend.  You can see why this subtle swinger romantic comedy is based on a play called the Marriage Circle.  It's a strange moral dissecting film because it celebrates marriage while at the same time is loose on sex.  Very provocative during its time and worth seeing.  Grade: A-
