À Venise, une nuit (1937)
Directed by Christian-Jaque

Comedy

Film Synopsis

Mortal no longer loves his wife Nadia and is keen to divorce her.  To provide reasonable grounds for divorce, he engages the services of a private detective, Robert, to seduce his wife.  Things do not turn out as Mortal had hoped.  First, Robert and Nadia fall madly in love as soon as they meet.  Then, with the help of a crafty little boy named Toto, Robert manages to unmask Mortal as a jewel thief.  The reward that Robert gets from the insurance company for exposing Mortal more than compensates for the loss of his fee and he can look forward to a comfortable new life with his one true love, Nadia.
