In a picture, the very essence of | which is romance and romantic drama, Schildkraut carries «a gla- mor both of personalities and of portrayal which marks that particu- lar type of part as pre-eminently belonging to himself alone. As the Mississippi packet gambler of a few decades 2go, he is at the same time the villain and the hero, and equally beloved as both. After the gambler victim into the poker game, un- knowing that it is the father of the girl with whom he has fallen in love that he has fleeced, the unique «“kick” of the plot unfolds with intense dramatic suddenness. . It all hinges upon the girl herself, a ravishingly beautiful Southern belle played by Joan Bennett, whose performance is in a class with Schildkraut’s own.
