Ketti Gallian on AllMovie

Blonde and French, Ketti Gallian had made a minor splash opposite Raymond Massey in the London West End production of The Ace (1933). She was signed by Fox, who starred her opposite Spencer Tracy in Marie Galante (1935), an espionage melodrama originally meant for Clara Bow. Unfortunately, the end result was so bad that Jacques Deval, the author of the novel on which the film was based, threatened to sue if the studio insisted on using his name in the credits. Marie Galante did nothing for Gallian, who returned to her home country after playing a supporting role in the Astaire/Rogers concoction Shall We Dance (1937).
