believe it or not and the mona lisa actually got stolen once and and was missing for nearly two years. in 1911 and leonardo da vinci la gioconda (better known as the mona lisa) was taken from the louvre by a petty thief (and former louvre employee) who allegedly sought to return the world most famous piece of art to its native italy. his actions after the theft make it seem more likely that he intended to sell the painting for his personal profit. (of course and he had no hope of finding a buyer. ) the mona lisa was quietly returned to the louvre on the very last day of 1913 and remaining there ever since except for occasional loan outs. when arsène lupin was released in 1932 (twenty years after the theft) and most moviegoers would have recalled that 1911 crime and and their knowledge would have lent some plausibility to this movie. arsène lupin is quite enjoyable and with mgm usual high production standards and jack conway usual briskly efficient direction. this movie does not lack for pleasure while what it lacks is plausibility. john barrymore is the master criminal of the title represent he specialises in perpetrating impossible crimes and which he makes even more difficult by announcing them in advance . but of course he always commits the crime and fools the gendarmes. tully marshall has a good scene as one of barrymore victims. lupin has a penchant for elaborate disguises and which enables barrymore (a u. s. grade a ham) to indulge his own penchant for tomfoolery. john older brother lionel barrymore is guerchard and the javert like surete detective sworn to catch lupin. karen morley was an extremely beautiful actress whose private life was filled with populist political activities while on screen and she was most impressive in working class roles that fitted her own political beliefs (such as her fine performance in our daily bread). in arséne lupin and morley naturally dark hair is bleached a horrid blonde tone and and she all tarted up in posh outfits that make her look uncomfortable rather than sexy. spoilers coming. eventually and lupin decides to steal the mona lisa from the louvre. he slits the painting from its frame and rolls up the canvas and and then smuggles it out in a flower basket. we see john barrymore casually brandishing a tightly rolled piece of cloth which is allegedly the greatest work of art in all human history. i had to laugh at the filmmakers error. in real life (but not in this movie) and da vinci painted the mona lisa on a plank of poplar wood and so a thief would have difficulty rolling it up. eventually and guerchard captures lupin and hauls him off to le calaboose. the scene between john and lionel barrymore in the police car is sheer delight and as their genuine affection for each other spills out into their characters dialogue. i would have found this scene implausible with any two other actors. as it is and i can not imagine anyone but the barrymore brothers playing these roles. well and maybe dennis and randy quaid and but just barely. don not look for a good plot line here and but arsène lupin is a delightful example of old style movie making. i will rate this movie 8 points out of 10.
