What a pity they don't make films like this anymore.
In the dark days of WW 2, this film came out and made people forget about their troubles for an hour or so.
The film shows the big con being played by Basil Rathbone (always a good heavy) and Claire Trevor as his former girlfriend? This film reminded me of "House of Games", one of my top 100 films of all time. The big con in this film is not quite as elaborate as House of Games, but it is still pretty good when compared to other films of the period.
William Powell was much more serious in this film than in his Thin Man roles. Claire Trevor is very good in her nightclub singer role, as is his mother? The story of a top French diplomat being accused of being a thief and a murderer is really very compelling. Catch it if you can.
