- Impoverished British bank clerk, John Ross (Jack Watling) is hopelessly in love with drop-dead gorgeous Irene James (Pat Kirkwood). Ross will do anything to win Irene's affections including embezzlement. She ends up marrying him, but she can't give up her true love, slimy counterfeiter Jimmy Smart (Sydney Tafler).

Way before our time, but we enjoyed it. - Once a Sinner review by JW
Coming from Southend, I loved looking at the Kursaal Amusement Park, the pier, Palace Hotel and Keddies - all of which feature in this film. Although the plot is somewhat tame and corny by today's standards, it was still enjoyable. My parents (78 and 85) ended up watching it twice for its nostalgic appeal!
