        Storyline

        Edit
        When Maria (Marlene Dietrich) meets Count Dino (Vittorio De Sica) gambling in Monaco, her losing night takes a positive turn. The two immediately take up with one another, but the affair is short-lived once Maria learns that the count is a compulsive gambler like her. Feeling the need for more financial security, Maria hooks up with a wealthy American and announces her plans to marry. But try as she might, Maria cannot shake her fond memories of the count. —Canon y mus

        a few high points among the low
        granted, this whole movie was a low point for Marlene and for Vittorio daSica as well. There is one great line in it, however: when asked by confidence man daSica why she never wears any jewelry (which she has hocked to pay for her stay in Monte Carlo) La Dietrich purrs, "Should I?" to which daDica responds, "Most women do." Dietrich points out, "Most women NEED to." Touche' -- The other high point for me in this mess is when Dietrich sings "Back Home Again in Indiana" -- as unlikely a possibility as there ever could be!
