The Free Trade Hotel

1934 · 95 min

A frothy farce of slamming doors and mistaken identities, light as air and played with theatrical gusto.

Overview: There's never a dull moment at the Hôtel du Libre Echange. Deceptions, hitches and other misunderstandings make a few people mingle whereas, for their own sake, they should not. An example among others: an expert who has come to the hotel for professional reasons had better not meet his wife, who is there to cheat on him with his best friend.
How it feels: Light, absurd, satirical and campy. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Deception, love, betrayal, identity
Content: Mild sexual content. No violence, gore or swearing.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
