"Design for Living" (1933), Ernst Lubitsch. Capsule review.

Sexual innuendo comedy about two guys in love with the same manipulative woman. It´s superb, but also completely immoral and very relevant to our day and age. As everything Lubitsch it is a funny affair, but the more you think about it the more it is provocative. It is based on a homoerotic play by Noel Coward, but the transposition to heterosexual polyamory makes it shocking. We are talking about a "Tinder-world" movie from 1933.
