Man of the World (1931)

Paramount Pictures
Directed by Richard Wallace
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Universal)

William Powell runs an extortion scam in Paris by threatening to publish scandalous stories about wealthy visiting Americans unless he is paid. He falls in love with the daughter of his latest victim, causing him to reexamine his life. Despite a real life romance, there is little chemistry between Powell and Carole Lombard, who fails to inspire him to change his ways.
