Midnight (1939)

A very funny film not to be missed by anyone who’s yet to see it. It stars Claudette Colbert as a showgirl who arrives in Paris penniless, but is assisted by a taxi driver, played by Don Ameche. When she realizes his interest in her is more than she wants, she ditches him and ends up crashing a society party, meeting a wealthy man (John Barrymore) whose wife (Mary Astor) is cheating on him. This man knows the showgirl doesn’t belong, but decides to use her to lure his wife’s suitor (Francis Lederer) away. After outfitting her with the proper wardrobe, he brings her to their home as a guest, pretending that she’s Hungarian royalty. When the taxicab driver finally tracks her down at the estate, you can only imagine some of the comic circumstances which ensue. Billy Wilder contributed to the script; Hedda Hopper and Monty Woolley also appear.
