Forbidden Paradise

A czarina with a taste for officers, a young man who saves her from a plot, and a chancellor who runs the country while she runs him, in a Ruritanian court with a modern car and a chequebook. Adolphe Menjou buys off the revolution, which is the touch applied to a coup. Pola Negri, Rod La Rocque. Lubitsch for Paramount, 1924, seventy-six minutes.
