I Was an Adventuress (1940)


Twentieth Century-Fox
Directed by Gregory Ratoff
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Fox Movie Channel)

A trio of high-class jewel thieves travel the globe scamming unsuspecting socialites. One day they choose the handsome young Richard Greene. He falls for one of their tricks, but also for Zorina, the beautiful young ballerina. It's not long before she falls for him as well and leaves her partners behind, or so she thinks. Years later they show up to harass and blackmail her into the old life. There is an artistic presentation of Swan Lake towards the end, completely out of step with the rest of the film.
