Susan Miller works behind the girdle counter in a department store and dreams about the beautiful clothes and glamour she can never hope to have. Enter May Worthington and Warren, a pair of con artists who pose as the mother and uncle of a pretty girl in order to separate millionaires from their money. They convince Susan she has an opportunity to fulfill all her dreams, and the trio heads for Palm Beach. Susan meets John Wheeler who says he is shopping for a sailboat. Believing that he is a millionaire, Warren and May sell him a boat that doesn't belong to them, and make off with his $15,000 life savings. Looking for greener pastures, they work themselves into the family of wealthy Tod Fenwick, who falls for Sue, posing as "Linda Worthington". But John shows up as a guest of Fenwick and he tells "Linda", not knowing she was part of the scam, that he has a detective after the fake captain that sold him the boat...

Laird Cregar ("Worthington") rather steals this over-complicated crime caper as together with his benign-looking wife "Maybelle" manage to coax the naive, but willing, "Susan" (Gene Tierney) onto a sting operation. Their mark is the gullible "Wheeler" (Henry Fonda). Their swindling all goes nicely to plan, double-selling him yacht for $15,000 but shortly afterwards the gal starts to fall in love with her new beau, and complications set in... It's an OK film this, but there isn't much chemistry between Tierney and a distinctly lukewarm Fonda. There is also far too much dialogue and the pace of the whole thing makes it hard for it to find any rhythm. It's interesting to see Miss Byington in a slightly less flightly role, but otherwise this is just a routine vehicle for two stars that offers little of distinction for just over 90 minutes.

    Encomium to Larry Hart (1895-1943), seen through the fictive eyes of his song-writing partner, Richard Rodgers (1902-1979): from their first meeting, through lean years and their breakthrough, to their successes on Broadway, London, and Hollywood. We see the fruits of Hart and Rodgers' collaboration - elaborately staged numbers from their plays, characters' visits to night clubs, and impromptu performances at parties. We also see Larry's scattered approach to life, his failed love with Peggy McNeil, his unhappiness, and Richard's successful wooing of Dorothy Feiner.

    With input from actor and writer Jan Hlobil, director and cinematographer Rene Smaal presents a film in the true surrealist tradition, in the sense that only 'found' elements were used, and that it defies interpretation based on ordinary cause-and-effect time sequence.
