A sporadically funny, somewhat contrived comedy.

Time Out
Ernst Lubitsch seems to be resting on his cliches in this atypically inelegant 1938 comedy.

Chicago Reader
Rating: 1.5/4 --
Wilders and Brackett's screenplay has some laughs, and Lubitsch knows how to get the most out of the least, but this movie was a mistake to make in the first place.

TV Guide
Rating: C+ --
The text (also done as silent), co-scripted by Billy Wilder, seems ideal for the Lubitsch touch, and yet the tone is incongruous and overall the film is disappointing.

EmanuelLevy.Com
Lubitsch's classicism gets continually cracked by the unruliness of the screwball genre and by the caustic thrust of the Billy Wilder-Charles Brackett screenplay

Only Gary Cooper and Claudette Colbert could have given it its peculiar sparkle, romance and deftly timed comedy.

Maclean's Magazine
Fluffy, but fun and worth watching for the great Horton as Colbert's financially embarrassed father.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Screen legends Claudette Colbert and Gary Cooper star in the classic screwball comedy Bluebeard's Eighth Wife directed by Ernst Lubitsch. Set on the French Riviera, the charming daughter (Colbert) of a destitute aristocrat (Edward Everett Horton) catches the eye of a dashing millionaire (Gary Cooper). After a brief courtship, she accepts his marriage proposal, only to find out on their wedding day that he has been down the aisle before - seven times! Determined to teach him a lesson, she makes a mockery of their matrimony in a variety of side-splitting situations.
