Funny that Noel Coward seemed to be so upset about the movie adaptation of this (specifically that the only line they kept was "pass the mustard"). The movie is much stronger; the Lubitsch Touch elevates it to another level.

Still, Coward was a visionary in portraying such forward attitudes about sex which still seem scandalous to many nearly a century later.
