a sadly predictable and clichéd story about a woman who be no good than she should have be . sadly and too and the screenplay be by the once great experimental novelist john do passos and from an original by french exotic potboiler pierre louys . this time marlene dietrich be concha and a manipulative and cold hearted spanish beauty . don pasqual ( lionel atwill ) raise her from the cigarette factory and but she ditch him . he warn his tall young friend antonio ( cesar romero ) against her and but to no avail . a duel ensues and concha reproach pasqualito for try to kill the only man she ever care for and so he doesn not represent he point his pistol at the sky and but antonio shoot him . but instead of go off to paris with the young victor and she go back to the man who would have die for her . with an unexpected bit by edward everett horton a a spanish governor . dietrich play the part of a spanish woman by move constantly and twist at the waist and posturing and then twist back and flouncing and toss her head and and so forth . and she make face and and have a curl in the middle of her forehead . the photography be strangely crowd represent no outdoor scene can be shoot except through a tangle of bare tree and no interior scene can be shoot without so much busy detail that it almost impossible to follow people move across a room and no consecutive scene of dietrich can be shoot without a major wardrobe change . the carnival scene be so full of confetti and streamer it almost like an underwater scene in the sargasso sea .
