Of COURSE there's no accounting for a wonderful cast..The story has been told in different ways many times but THIS one shone. I wasn't familiar with Richard Johnson who played Jarvis Smith our smarmy villain. What really struck me with this character was when he would tell the "victims" that their "investment" went south, resorted to tears, YES, literally crying ...He DOES add, "My money was invested too." He's really a bad one! Apparently the gals that loved him (Mary Scott and Geraldine Fitzgerald) were compassionate and caring. Mary Scott was only in the beginning...see it, you'll see..I'm just mentioning it. WELL, Fay Bainter, an elderly wealthy woman, friend of Geraldine Fitzgerald's, didn't take her loss as Fitzgerald (Agatha was her character's name) did...she ended her own life. AHHHH now the fun. Our Agatha obviously wasn't "amused" by this charming fella's scamming them and pulled a stunt that I will NOT spoil!!
