Bluebeard’s Eighth Wife

Lubitsch’s excursion into the genre of the screwball comedy: Michael Brandon (Gary Cooper), an American millionaire with principles, doesn’t understand why he should buy pajama bottoms when he only ever wears the pajama top to bed. At precisely the moment when the argument threatens to escalate, a young woman (Claudette Colbert) appears who is only interested in pajama bottoms. Brandon falls in love and for his eight marriage would even put up with the bankrupt Marquis de Loiselle (Edward Everett Horton) as his father-in-law, who has already repeatedly foisted himself upon him as a dubious business partner and tried to sell him a Louis XIV. bathtub.
