Notice how in France the film was known as Ariane, the title of the original version directed by Paul Czinner. As I posted earlier, this original version is darker and more cynical. Wilder lightened the tone considerably.

Indeed it was. I had the good luck to see a pristine 35mm print of this film and I can attest to this. Charming film. For the record, it is a remake of an Elisabeth Bergner/Paul Czinner film, Ariane, which is much more jaded and realistic.
