Episode 17: The Smiling Lieutenant

ABOUT THE EPISODE:

Suzan and David are finally free of the 1930/1931 nominees! …But not free of Ernst Lubitsch and Maurice Chevalier’s misogynistic musicals. The Smiling Lieutenant is the movie that asks “What did people like about The Love Parade?” and gets the answer wrong every time. At least there’s a funny song about underwear.
