herbert marshall....1930s
16 November 2020
Herb Marshall is Oliver Lane, long time con-man, aided by Mrs. Vail (May Robson). when one of Lane's cronies shows up with a famous stolen jewel, they insist it be returned, to avoid being investigated by scotland yard. co-stars Mary Boland, Lionel Atwill. Boland steals any show of which she is a part! and best known as the Countess in "The Women" from 1939. this one tells a good story. we're rooting for the con-man, who must go straight on the insistence of his girlfriend. some twists. and a whole lot of ribbing about how loud and annoying the americans are, since it takes place in england. directed by Jack Conway, who also made BoomTown, Libeled Lady, and so many other great films. was there, right at the beginning of film. Pretty good film!
