Directed by Frank Borzage • 1936 • United States
Starring Marlene Dietrich, Gary Cooper, John Halliday
The smoldering romanticism of director Frank Borzage and the elegant wit of producer Ernst Lubitsch merge beautifully in this glittering comedy about a crime spree that leads to love. In the most elaborate jewel heist in European history, the beautiful and conniving phony “Countess” Madeleine de Beaupre (Marlene Dietrich, in her first film following the end of her creative partnership with director Josef von Sternberg) embezzles a small fortune in pearls. As she makes her getaway to Spain to deliver the hot goods, she meets handsome young tourist Tom Bradley (Gary Cooper), who has no idea how much trouble he’s about to get mixed up in.
