Abstract. We begin by giving an example of a smoothly bounded convex domain that has complex geodesics that do not extend continuously up to D. This example suggests that continuity at the boundary of the complex geodesics of a convex domain Ω ⊂ Cn, n ≥ 2, is affected by the extent to which Ω curves or bends at each boundary point. We provide a sufficient condition to this effect (on C1-smoothly bounded convex domains), which admits domains having boundary points at which the boundary is infinitely flat. Along the way, we establish a Hardy-Littlewood-type lemma that might be of independent interest.
