Lamenting Thebian women are waiting for the men to come back from war. God Jupiter is attracted to one of them: Alkmene. He goes to earth and tries to seduce her as himself: an old man. Failing in this, he disguises himself as Amphitryon (Alkemene's husband) and tries again. Next morning Amphitryon and his men come back from war; he suspects adultery and wants a divorce. Jupiter's wive Juno now also comes to earth and clears things up. (imdb)

The movie looks extremely elegant and is very playful and happy in tune. It's timing is like a rhythm based play with songs coming naturally to the easy going and cute flirtation story. But for me Amphitryon lacked the extra punch to really make it memorable. Perhaps it was too light and loose to really make me feel it's magic. But it is a delightful movie regardless and I'm sure it worked excellently as a much needed escapism for the Germans in a tense pre-World War 2 atmosphere!
