- Synopsis:
World-famous ballet dancer Vera Zorina stars in a rare big screen appearance alongside Peter Lorre and Erich Von Stroheim in this delightful 1940 comedy crime caper. Posing as the fabulously glamorous Countess Tanya Vronsky, a poor young ballet dancer (Vera Zorina) and her two accomplices (Peter Lorre, Erich von Stroheim) are really a team of skilled con artists! They mingle with Europe's high society, always looking for the next wealthy victim to fleece with their fake jewellery scam... Then Tanya meets the dashing young Paul Vernay (Richard Greene). At first she wants to rob him. Then she decides she wants to marry him - and to leave her criminal past behind her. Her accomplices agree - but only if she'll join them in one last, big swindle... - Actors:
