As he stands outside the doors to hell, Henry, who lived in America’s high society of the late 19th century, recounts the story of his amorous adventures, including marriage to his great love, Martha. Tierney received top billing and gives a warm and charming performance. In one of his great late-career films, the director brings his legendary ‘Lubitsch touch’ of wit and elegance to his first Technicolor release.
