says THE NEWS
TWICE WITHIN 2 WEEKS, PARA¬ MOUNT’S SUMMER HIT-WAVE HITS WIN THOUSANDS OF WORDS OF THE MOST SENSATIONAL
‘A FOREIGN AFFAIR' IS A WHALE OF A PICFORE.
It’s a little early to be speaking of the year’s awards, but here is my candidate. It will be a mighty fine day when they make a picture to top ‘A Foreign Affair.’ It is a treat to have two of Hollywood’s most intelligent actresses together in the year’s most intelligent comedy. The writers and players never allow it to slip into a single stodgy moment.” — Alton Cook , World-Telegram
TO PUT IT PLAINLY, HOLLYWOOD’S MOST ENJOYABLE
PICTURE OF THE YEAR. Paramount Theatre audi
ences are most fortunate. This Brackett-Wilder picture is so richly studded with all types of fun, verbal and visual, that some of it may be lost in the ensuing audidience hullaballoo. The perfect performances of the four leads contribute to the general excellence.’’
— Archer Winsten , N. Y. Post
SMARTLY TURNED OUT COMEDY. sly humor, biling
satire. The film bounces amusingly through a variety of crisply handled complications. All three principals ex¬ cellent. Millard Mitchell does a slick job.”

“THIS BRACKETT-WILDER TEAM SEEMS UNBEATABLE
no matter in what direction it turns. From the charn of ‘The Emperor Waltz’ they turn toward anothe brilliant picture. Writing has much to do with the wi and honesty of ‘A Foreign Affair.’ Dialogue is funny crisp, real. Ideas and characters are fresh and original The team which made ‘Ninotchka’ and ‘The Los Weekend’ don’t bother with routine plots. Dietrich ha the best role of her career. Miss Arthur is a delight.’
— Eileen Creelman , The Su?
“A BOLD, BRIGHT COMEDY. I’m all for ‘A Foreign Affair.
Shining example of perfect teamwork in picture making One prediction the ad writers failed to make is that thi picture is going to make John Lund the screen’s No. ‘Lover Boy’ whether he likes it or not. Arthur, Dietrich Lund and Mitchell give performances that people wil be praising for a long time to come.”
— Wanda Hale , Daily New.
“DANDY ENTERTAINMENT. It has wit, worldliness an<
charm. Jean Arthur is beautifully drole. But it is realh Dietrich who does the most fascinating job.”
