Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 5/5 --
Within the frames of Cluny Brown you can see so clearly why Lubitsch was revered in his day and why his legacy carries on as it's a film overflowing with heart, humor, and intelligence.

Rating: 3/5 --
This somewhat outmoded satirical soufflé on British upper-class mores is nonetheless diverting.

Radio Times
Ernst Lubitsch's last completed film, from 1946, looks back to the prewar year of 1938 to take stock of the postwar world and to show how it got that way.

Whammo entertainment.

Variety
Rating: 3/4 --
The last film with the fabled "Lubitsch touch" contains moments of satire that raise it to classic status, as Lubitsch, Hoffenstein and Reinhardt take shots at upper-class England with deadly aim.

TV Guide
Lubitsch's last film and one of his most engaging comedies.

Time Out
This late, delicious comedy of manners by Ernst Lubitsch is a notch below his best, but the character acting is so good one hardly notices.

Product Description:
The time is just prior to World War II. Lovely Cluny Brown (Jennifer Jones) is the niece of a London plumber; when her uncle is indisposed, Cluny rolls up her sleeves and takes a plumbing job at a society home, where she meets a handsome Czech author (Charles Boyer) - a refugee who has fled the Nazis and now resides with a snobbish and stuck-up family. Hoping to advance herself socially, Cluny accepts a position as a maid in a fancy country home, where she once more meets the Czech author, who is a house guest; they promptly fall for each other, and Cluny follows his lead by turning her nose up at stiff-necked English propriety. CLUNY BROWN is directed by the matchless Ernst Lubitsch.
