Death Takes a Holiday

“No one can die – while he makes love!”

In 1934, Duke Lambert (Guy Standing) hosts a houseful of guests at his Italian villa, and an uninvited man calls himself Prince Sirki (Fredric March). Sirki is Death in human form, taking three days among the living to learn why everyone fears him. Mitchell Leisen stages the weekend in lamplit drawing rooms and garden walks, with Evelyn Venable's Grazia the one guest who does not flinch.
