  • 원작: The Emperor's Candlesticks

The Emperor's Candlesticks is a 1937 American historical drama film starring William Powell and Luise Rainer and directed by George Fitzmaurice. It is based on the 1899 novel of the same name by Baroness Orczy. The story follows the adventures of spies from opposing sides who fall in love while following the eponymous candlesticks—and the papers hidden inside them—all over turn-of-the-20th-century Europe.

Production

According to TCM's Jeremy Arnold: “…it's that glossy star power, given the full MGM treatment, which makes The Emperor's Candlesticks fun to watch.”

Credit for the qualities that won high praise from Bosley Crowther at the time (see above) belongs to: Producer John W. Considine Jr.; Director Geo. Fitzmaurice, assisted by Edward Woehler; Cinematographers Harold Rosson and Oliver T. Marsh (uncredited); Film Editor Conrad A. Nervig; Art Director Cedric Gibbons, assisted by Daniel B. Cathcart and Edwin B. Willis; Costumes by Adrian; Music by Franz Waxman.

This was the third—and last—film co-starring Luise Rainer and William Powell. The first was a romantic comedy titled Escapade (1935). Rainier won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance as Anna Held opposite Powell as Florenz Ziegfeld in The Great Ziegfeld (1936).
