Nothing But Lies

Two husbands claim to be Freemasons so they can go out at night. Where do they go, if not to the lodge, the Masonic lodge? In reality, one goes to visit a pretty and particularly welcoming concierge in his dressing room, and the other spends his evenings in the dressing room of a little music-hall actress.

Directed by Karl Anton, Nothing But Lies leans on a strong ensemble — Robert Burnier, Marguerite Moreno, Pierre Stéphen — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1933.
