20th Century FoxDirected by Gregory La Cava

Nominated: Best Cinematography
Nominated: Best Sound
Poorly acted costumer set in 16th century Italy. Frank Morgan is the Duke, foreshadowing his role as the Wizard of Oz a few years later, who tortures those who get in the way of his love affairs. His main interest is beautiful brunette Fay Wray. However, she is also being wooed by the dashing sculptor Cellini, played by Fredric March, who is being pursued by the Duchess, among others. It's all a bunch of silliness. There is a memorably staged "Dance of Death" towards the end.
