The Affairs of Cellini

Richly mounted and ribald pre-Code costumer stars Fredric March as celebrated 16th-century Florentine sculptor/soldier/scalawag Benvenuto Cellini, who’s pushed into arranging a dalliance with his lovely life model (Fay Wray) for the lascivious Duke of Florence (Frank Morgan). If nothing else, it’ll give Cellini a clear path to the bedchamber of the Duchess (Constance Bennett)! Louis Calhern, Jessie Ralph also star; look for Lucille Ball as lady-in-waiting. 80 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.
