Bluebeard's Eighth Wife (1938)

Directed by Ernst Lubitsch

American multi-millionaire Michael Brandon marries his eighth wife, Nicole, the daughter of a broken French Marquis. But she doesn't want to be only a number in the row of his ex-wives and starts her own strategy to tame him.

Brandon: In 1924, why did you induce Mr. Bernier to finance automobile races?

Marquis De Loiselle: Why, he was a very rich man. He had the money; I had the experience.

Brandon: But when the races were over, you had the money, and he had the experience.
