Question
Hi Mel,
I saw a black & white movie about ten years ago and I can't find the way to make a search because I don't know the name of the stars and other clues except for the story. This is it: a couple of spouses, husband and wife, he a prince and she a princess, both from Russia, come secretly to america because of the bolchevique revolution. They have no money to live so they have to work. They find a job as servants in a richman's house and they perform with finest manners, but nobody knows their background...
Mel, I would appreciate you can help me finding the title of this lovely movie to me. Thanks in advance for your kindly help,
Marcelo

Hello Marcelo,

This film was called "TOVARICH". It was made in 1937 and starred Claudette Colbert amd Charles Boyer in the roles of the Grand Duchess and Prince Mikail. It was directed by Anatole Litvak.
