Plot Summary

Chris Cross, 25 years a cashier, has a gold watch and little else. That rainy night, he rescues delectable Kitty from her abusive boyfriend Johnny. Smitten, amateur painter Chris lets Kitty think he's a wealthy artist. At Johnny's urging, she lets Chris establish her in an apartment (with his shrewish wife's money). There, Chris paints masterpieces; but Johnny sells them under Kitty's name, with disastrous and ironic results. Written by Rod Crawford

Trivia According to Ben Mankiewicz on TCM, when first released, local censor boards in New York, Milwaukee and Atlanta banned this film entirely for being "licentious, profane, obscure, and contrary to the good order of the community". See more »
Goofs The story takes place in 1934, but all of Margaret Lindsay's and Joan Bennett's clothes, shoes, and hairstyles are strictly in the 1945 mode; fashions had changed considerably during the intervening eleven years. The featured taxicab is a late-1930s vintage, about three years too new. See more »
