I Was An Adventuress (1940 Gregory Ratoff)

Zorina may be a good ballerina but she has the acting abilities of a carp; Richard Greene has the charisma of a hatstand. Luckily we have Peter Lorre and Eric von Stroheim (and briefly Sig Ruman) in support. Story about group of swindlers is Hollywood comedy template #144, quite fun, written by too many writers to list. Swan Lake sequence adds nothing to plot. Film is professionally photographed by Leon Shamroy and Edward Cronjager for Fox.

Cora Witherspoon is no relation to Reece.
