That Uncertain Feeling is a less popular but nevertheless very interesting Ernst Lubitsch film. Like so many of his other works (e.g. The Love Parade, One Hour With You, The Smiling Lieutenant) it shows an unhappily married couple's path back to a healthy relationship. Since one can guess the outcome right from the start, the movie is not engaging because one would speculate the outcome throughout the runtime but rather because Lubitsch makes the most boring plot engaging and interesting - and he manages to do it over and over again with the same plot. That is the reason why "The Lubitsch Touch" is now common vocabulary among film scholars. That Uncertain Feeling certainly doesn't lack those nice moments, either, see for instance (spoilers) Lubitsches delightful buildup to the "keeks" moment. This movie is no lesser Lubitsch film, in fact I believe it is one of his better works. Most of the negative ratings of this film will probably be down to relatively poor production quality.
