Synopsis: Six years into their marriage, Jill Baker (Oberson) contracts a case of recurring hiccups. Her busy husband Larry (Douglas) sends Jill to Freudian psychologist Vengard and he concludes that the hiccups are caused by her marital problems. When Jill meets hilarious but highly neurotic concert pianist Sebastian (Meredith) in the doctor's waiting room, she decides to begin a relationship with Sebastian and file for divorce. Larry, still in love with Jill, initially agrees, but the separation doesn't last long and they reunite after a multitude of hilarious hijinks. Meredith steals the film.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't by this edition, November 6, 2001
By eq3 (Virginia) - See all my reviews
Do not buy this DVD edition. Neither movie was digitally remastered as advertised, nor is the advertised bonus material on the DVD. The films look terrible, old prints dumped straight to DVD. The sound is equally bad. I am refering to the "Triton Video" edition that contains both Beat the Devil and That Uncertain Feeling. These are great movies that deserve better than than this poor quality DVD.

4.0 out of 5 stars I'm "Certain" You'll Like This DVD!, June 26, 2000
By Scott (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: That Uncertain Feeling (DVD)
If you have never seen That Uncertain Feeling, an unusual little gem by master director Ernst Lubitsch, you are in for a real treat - especially if you buy this wonderful DVD edition of the film made available by the Roan Group.

Merle Oberon portrays Jill Baker, a beautiful socialite who is bored to distraction by her dull, insurance-peddling husband(Melvyn Douglas) and develops a case of nervous hiccups. Her psychiatrist (Alan Mowbray) tries to get at the root of Jill's problem by exploring every avenue - "especially Park Avenue." During one of Jill's visits she encounters an eccentric pianist (played to wonderful excess by Burgess Meredith) and that's when the fun begins. The film is not without the famed "Lubitsch Touches" including one delightful scene in which pianist Sebastian seduces Jill by tickling the ivories on her piano.

That Uncertain Feeling is often run on television, but the copies I have seen had such awful image and sound quality they were virtually unviewable! At last, thanks to the Roan Group's excellent restoration and transfer of the film to DVD, we can see the film as it should be seen. We can finally appreciate George Barnes' rich black and white photography with its dramatic interplays of light and shadow, creating a mood reminiscent of the film noir style of the period.

And the image quality of this DVD is so stunning you can almost feel the textures of the silk and lace in Merle Oberon's magnificent gowns by designer Irene. This DVD is also nicely packaged with original advertising art, and comes with extras including background information on the film and its stars, and chapter stops that allow you to jump to specific scenes.

4.0 out of 5 stars NOTE: "Blatant rip-off" review refers to other version!, September 6, 2001
By Scott (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: That Uncertain Feeling (DVD)
I just want to clarify that the customer review of "That Uncertain Feeling" with a subject: Blatant rip-off, seems to be referring to the "Beat the Devil/That Uncertain Feeling" double feature DVD (ASIN: B00003ETNA) since both films are mentioned in the review.

The DVD that I reviewed is NOT this double-feature version, but the single-title release of "That Uncertain Feeling" by the Roan Group (ASIN: B00003RQNX).

I am confident that the Roan Group's release of the film is indeed from a restored 35mm print -- the quality is just too good not to be!
