Reviews
Sidney Fox ("Marianne") is the rather over-indulged daughter who falls for con-artist "Valentine Corliss" (Humphrey Bogart). When he manipulates her into forging her father's signature on a document endorsing his rather dodgy business venture, he absconds with the money raised from his life-long friends and colleagues and the girl - before abandoning the girl.
