About This Movie

What Women Dream is quite the gem from 1933, blending comedy and mystery in a way that really captures the pre-WWII atmosphere. The film centers around a charming kleptomaniac, which is interesting since her compulsion becomes a source of both humor and tension. The pacing feels just right, balancing the lighthearted moments with the quirky investigation led by a rather clumsy detective. The scent of a woman's glove becomes a pivotal clue, adding a dash of intrigue. The performances have this delightful earnestness, and Géza von Bolváry creates a tone that feels both whimsical and slightly noirish. You don't often find films that juggle these elements so well, making it stand out in the comedy-mystery genre of its era.
