Die Herren Vom Maxim (1937)
Die Herren von Maxim ("The Gentleman From Maxim's") was filmed in late 1932, but didn't land a New York release until 1937. Even by early-talkie standards, this in a stilted, old-fashioned musical, with forgettable songs and lugubrious direction. The story of a servant who poses as a wealthy playboy had been done so often that audiences could anticipate the dialogue, right down to the punctuation. Likewise predictable is the fact that the hero will land the heroine by film's end, despite her apparent indifference to him. The film is redeemed somewhat by the comic performance of Leo Slezak, the father of Walter. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
