Synopsis
In Venice, Lily (Miriam Hopkins), a pickpocket pretending to be a countess, meets the famous thief Gaston Monescu (Herbert Marshall), who is posing as a Baron, and they fall in love. Gaston robs aristocrat François Fileba and flees with Lily before he is found out. Almost a year later, in Paris, Gaston steals a diamond-studded purse from widow Mariette Colet, but gives it back to her, charming her to such an extent that she hires him as her secretary.

Critics' reviews
- "Despite the Lubitsch artistry, much of which is technically apparent, it's not good cinema"
- "It's possible to prefer other Ernst Lubitsch films for their more serene stylings and more plangent emotions, but this 1932 production is probably the most perfectly representative of his works."
- "This comedy of jewel thieves is itself the prize sparkler of Lubitsch's enterprising career."
- "In virtually every scene the lively imagination of the German producer shines forth and it seems as though he were the only person in Hollywood who could have turned out such an effective entertainment"
