...ability with comedy. She no longer stoops to conquer with her legs, but none the less her dignity in this picture is dropped from the grand tragedienne level. Comedy is throughout the sustaining force. From the point at the beginning where Adventuress Dietrich bumps together the heads of a jeweller and a psychiatrist, in order to get away with a gorgeous string of stolen pearls, to the point at the end where those same two dupes are joyful witnesses at the wedding, the atmosphere is charged with worldly, debonair mirth.

Asked the price of this jewel, the Museum's Director Herbert Eustis Winlock replied, "We never talk prices. They don't mean anything." A good guess...
...Lone Wolf has returned for the ast time, apparently, since he has got himself married in this interesting picture about a jewel thief who reforms and marries the intended victim. We are rather glad Melvyn Douglas met Gail Patrick and decided to change his taking ways because there have been so many 'best jewel thiefs in all of Europe" on the screen in the last two years that we were getting rather confused. The butler and valet have come into an increasingly important role in many stores lately and Raymond Walburn justifies his promotion to the rank of valet...
