...lawyer, a remarkably active man for his age, gets the actress; the lawyer's son gets the lawyer's second wife; the Count gets the Countess (ha!); and the maid is about to make the stablekeeper marry her. Everything is taken lightly...
What might have shocked the censors is its gay freedom from what most of America considers fairly absolute morals--a count and his wife, for example, bet each other, as part of the dinner table conversation at a party, that the wife cannot seduce the man on his right in fifteen minutes (the same man, incidentally, whom the Count recently met in his--the Count's--nightshirt at the house of their mutual mistress); they bet; the woman later turns out to have won--and in eight minutes, not fifteen.
