    Where to Watch

Victorian melodrama of deception and murder, based on Robert Hichens' novel "Bella Donna." Merle Oberon, George Brent. Baroudi: Charles Korvin. Marie: Lenore Ulric. Isaacson: Paul Lukas. Ahmed: Arnold Moss. Dr. Mueller: Ludwig Stossel. Dupont: Andre Charlot. Hamza: Robert Capa. Yvonne: Suzanne Cloutier. Irving Pichel directed.

Oberon leaves her Egyptologist husband Brent for attentive rogue Korvin. Korvin comes up with a plot to kill Brent and live off the inheritance. Oberon isn't fond of the idea and kills Korvin instead, committing suicide shortly afterwards. This was the last picture made by International before it joined forces with Universal. A remake of a 1923 Pola Negri vehicle.
