Powell and Francis were one of the great screen teams and the pre-code naughtiness in this movie proves that earlier generations weren't as straight-laced as sometimes thought.Amanda Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08658933742656383125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2288554694249618370.post-83445731352356827872018-11-15T20:45:54.594-08:002018-11-15T20:45:54.594-08:00This movie is so sexy; it sparkles like champagne....This movie is so sexy; it sparkles like champagne. My favorite scene is when Teri visits the Jewel Thief in his apartment -- and at one point he picks her up and drops her over a second floor balcony onto his bed!<br />Kay Francis and William Powell were close friends offscreen; he, Ronald Colman, and Richard Barthelmess were best friends, and she often joined them.

Your post is wonderful, but please answer this: how does Kay keep that gown from falling down? She and Powell were so good together. What a team... until that darned Myrna came along ;)FlickChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351624749230610755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2288554694249618370.post-20821804347485538272018-11-15T06:23:56.062-08:002018-11-15T06:23:56.062-08:00I have seen Powell as an outright villain only onc...I have seen Powell as an outright villain only once (When Knighthood Was in Flower), but he is perfectly cast here as a charmer who operates outside the law. Like you, I don't see how anyone couldn't adore Kay Francis as the Baroness. Some people!Caftan Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936895555808823221noreply@blogger.com
