Design for Living

No upcoming showtimes scheduled.
Director: Ernst Lubitsch
1933 / 91min / DCP

American in Paris Miriam Hopkins faces a perfectly alluring dilemma, having to choose between the love of either Gary Cooper or Frederic March in Lubitsch’s saucy romantic comedy, an innuendo-heavy top-down overhaul of Noël Coward’s Broadway smash by Lubitsch and screenwriter Ben Hecht that squeaked into cinemas just ahead of the Production Code coming along to tamp down on sexy on-screen shenanigans.

“Much like Design for Living, Happyend is actually kind of a love triangle story. I borrowed heavily from the structure of this film.” —Neo Sora
