It was directed by Gregory La Cava. Both the Duke and Duchess have an eye for beauty and other partners. The Duke presently fancies a young woman who poses as an artist's model. The Duchess has her eye on the famous artist, Benvenuto Cellini, who is in the palace making a set of gold plate to be used at ducal banquets. Cellini purportedly hypnotizes young women, and cuckolds the Duke of Florence. The somewhat oblivious Duke is loath to punish the young man, for Cellini fashions gold wares for him, but throws him into the torture chamber. However, a goblet of poisoned wine solves the problem. Morgan was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor. The film was nominated for Best Art Direction, Best Cinematography and Best Sound, Recording (Thomas T. Moulton). LESS
