This Ernst Lubitsch picture is a cute movie about British social positions. Cluny Brown has a zest for plumbing but works as a maid for a household. Her eccentricities are frowned upon. Luckily there is another soul that she can relate to Charles Boyer a man who has run away from the Nazis. I've watched a few Lubitsch but never heard of this movie so it's a welcome addition to the Criterion Collection. Jennifer Jones is pretty fun in this role and one wonders what would have happened if she pursued comic roles further.
