Marie Manfred, famed pianist and even more famed inamorata, goes to Italy for a holiday, almost immediately becomes involved with pianos and men, both of which she has sworn not to touch for some time. She has a violent affair with a sombrely pompous Fascist, whose physical charm temporarily overcomes her common sense. When he refuses to marry her, on the ground that the scandal of being her husband would make him ridiculous, she finds herself able to laugh as his enemies force him to drink their health in castor oil. Relieved of her hero, she takes on an earlier...

He went to Paris, where he lived with Theo, painted furiously and tried to become like the Impressionists, whom he reverenced. But it was against his grain. Suddenly he left Paris, went...
After Tonight (RKO). International spies in the cinema should by this time know better than to fall in love. Invariably a spy's inamorata is also a spy. When the spies find out about each other it usually produces a sadder situation than the one that arises in this picture. Constance Bennett is operative K-14 of Russia. When she is not warming up scraps of paper to make legible their messages in invisible ink she is lolling crisply in the arms of a Viennese secret agent (Gilbert Roland) and saying in her Parkavian voice how much she loves...
