    I offer you love as you ask for cake! I prefer death to a cold woman! Thats one of the many quotes from Florentine artist and Lothario Benvenuto Cellini (Fredric March) as he woos his way around the city in the style of Casanova or Don Juan. Unlike those gents, though, this one is also a talented sculptor and has attracted the attention of the Medici. The Duke (Frank Morgan) is sort of being manoeuvred by his Duchess (Constance Bennett) to find him work, but she has designs that dont appear on his etchings. Whilst these two are playing a bit of cat and mouse, one of this artists former friends (Fay Wray) is being courted by a Duke who locks his wife into her suite of an evening ostensibly to protect her honour but more likely so he can play...
