Man of the World (1931)

The understated elegance of William Powell (swoon!) works perfectly in this part. Carole Lombard in a pre-screwball-comedies role is heartwrenchingly beautiful and hopeful in her character's experience of first love. Be warned, this film is an anti-romance about expat Americans in Paris, so there's lots of grit and ache and cold-heartedness under the satin, diamonds, and furs. So many furs!
