One Hour with You is a 1932 American film. It was produced and directed by Ernst Lubitsch ("with the assistance of" George Cukor) and written by Samson Raphaelson, from the Lothar Schmidt play Only a Dream.
The film is a musical comedy starring Maurice Chevalier, Jeanette MacDonald, Genevieve Tobin and Charles Ruggles, about a married couple who find themselves attracted to other people.
A French-language version of the film, called Une heure près de toi was made simultaneously, with Lili Damita playing Genevieve Tobin's role.
In 1932, the film was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture.
One Hour with You stars Maurice Chevalier as Parisian doctor Andre Bertier and Jeanette MacDonald as his loving wife, Colette. Bertier is faithful, much to the surprise of his lovely female patients. But when Colette's best friend Mitzi Olivier (Tobin) insists upon being treated by Dr. Bertier, it looks to many of those concerned that Mitzi may succeed where the other willing ladies failed. The misunderstandings and reconciliations of the plot are staged with careful superficiality by director Ernst Lubitsch.

Famous quotes containing the word hour:
“We say that the hour of death cannot be forecast, but when we say this we imagine that hour as placed in an obscure and distant future. It never occurs to us that it has any connection with the day already begun or that death could arrive this same afternoon, this afternoon which is so certain and which has every hour filled in advance.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
