One Hour with You


One Hour with You is a 1932 American PreCode musical comedy film about a married couple who find themselves attracted to other people. It was produced and directed by Ernst Lubitsch with the assistance of George Cukor, and written by Samson Raphaelson, from the play Only a Dream by Lothar Schmidt. It stars Maurice Chevalier, Jeanette MacDonald and Genevieve Tobin and features Charles Ruggles and Roland Young. A Frenchlanguage version, called Une heure prs de toi was made simultaneously, with Lili Damita playing Genevieve Tobins role.

Parisian doctor Andre Bertier Maurice Chevalier is faithful to his loving wife, Colette Jeanette MacDonald, much to the surprise of his lovely female patients. But when Colettes best friend Mitzi Olivier Genevieve Tobin insists upon being treated by Dr. Bertier, it looks to many of those concerned that Mitzi may succeed where the other willing ladies failed.Lubitsch was originally scheduled to direct One Hour with You, and supervised it in preproduction, but when the film he was directing before it, The Man I Killed went over schedule, Cukor was assigned to direct. Within two weeks after filming started, however, conflicts between Chevalier and Cukor brought Lubitsch back to the helm, although Cukor remained on the set. Both Cukor and Lubitsch demanded sole credit for directing, and the matter ended up in court, but was settled before a judgment was rendered, with Cukor receiving a credit for assisting and the right to break his contract with Paramount to direct What Price Hollywood? at RKO. ........
