An underrated movie
I enjoyed "The Flame of New Orleans." It's a trifle but a lovely one. I especially enjoyed the chemistry between Dietrich and the underrated Bruce Cabot; Laura Hope Crews' "advice to the bride" (LOL); Dietrich's song at the harpsichord as we watch the gossip spread; the post-coital conversation on the deck of the boat; the bored bridesmaids at the wedding; and the fainting scenes. The movie isn't a masterpiece, but it's entertaining, and it moves along. I recommend it.
