"From 1929’s innovatively crafted talking musical The Love Parade (Lubitsch’s first sound picture) up to 1934’s Code-rupturing threesome in Design For Living, Lubitsch worked strictly at sophisticated Paramount.

For Lubitsch, a romantic triangle or adultery wasn’t just the side story, it was often the central plot."
