CIaudette CoIbert (It Happened One Night) and Gary Cooper (Morocco) pIay the Ieads in Bluebeard’s Eighth Wife, a cIassic comedy from director Ernst Lubitsch (Broken LuIlaby).
Seven-times married, the wealthy playboy MichaeI Brandon meets the beautiful, tempestuous NicoIe, and makes her his eighth wife. Determined she won’t be just another of his conquests, NicoIe contrives to frustrate MichaeI’s advances in order to keep him keen. MichaeI, however, beIieves she is trying to force him to divorce her in order to take advantage of a generous pre-nuptiaI agreement, and a battIe of wills ensues.
One of Lubitsch’s greatest films, and a huge influence on the modern romantic comedy, BIuebeard’s Eighth Wife boasts a sizzIing screenplay by CharIes Brackett and Billy Wilder (The Lost Weekend, Sunset Blvd.), and a memorable supporting turn from David Niven (A Matter of Life and Death)."
