One of Duvivier's most cheerful films was a German-French-US co-production, a fast-paced comedy of love and mistaken identity about telephone operators in Paris and their colleagues at the Berlin telephone exchange. Brimming with the joy of experimentation, this multi-language film - the Germans speak German with each other, the French French, and when they meet they do their best to make themselves understood - celebrates the unifying power of the telephone, as well as the new medium of sound film, combining the best qualities of Weimar sound comedy with those of French Poetic realism.
