Midnight
Blu-ray - 2025
Screwball comedy doesn't get any more effortlessly elegant and gleefully irreverent than this roulette wheel of romantic deception, gleaming with cunning wit and Continental elan. A couture-clad Claudette Colbert is divine as a penniless American showgirl who crashes Parisian high society by posing as a wealthy Hungarian baroness but both a scheming nobleman and a smitten taxi driver are soon on to her game. Billy Wilder and Charles Brackett's sophisticated script, a typically subversive blend of fairy-tale escapism and caustic social observation and the pitch-perfect direction of master craftsman Mitchell Leisen yield a topsy-turvy Cinderella story with a cynical bite.
