LONE WOLF IN PARIS, THE(1938)
This is a poor copy of this movie!
Not really enamoured with Lederer as the Lone Wolf!
Not only that, but this is just plain boring, with
Lederer and his accent making it quite a tidius effort
to watch! If you missed this, you've midded not much! C
From IMDb.com:
There's nothing really wrong with this movie. There
just isn't much of interest. It's a stereotypical
story of three nobles who are holding the queen of
an obscure small country hostage with the hope of
replacing her and her son and taking over the throne.
(To do what? We're led to believe that there's
nothing much to the country.) The queen's daughter
meets a reformed jewel thief, the Lone Wolf of
the title, and enlists his aid in getting back
some royal jewels that the three evil nobles
intend to use to force the queen to abdicate.
(She sold the jewels to them to help the starving
peasants in her bankrupt country, but needs them
now that her son is about to be crowned, and
they, baddies that they are, won't sell them
back. Nasty nasty.) The Lone Wolf agrees to
come out of retirement, so to speak, because
he's attracted to the princess.
Things work out as you would expect.
As I said, there's nothing wrong with this.
It's just all pretty much movies by the numbers,
and not interesting.. - richard-1787
