Crawford in a remake of her rival's (Shearer) film, 3 September 2000
Author: nickandrew from PA

Based on Frederick Lonsdale's play about an American jewel thief causing romance and scandal in an aristocratic London society. Crawford is not suitable in title role as a thief, but there is fine support from Powell and Morgan. This comedy was not very popular in 1937, since it was a remake of a 1929 early talkie starring Crawford's MGM rival, Norma Shearer, but it can be fun to watch.
