synopsis
Two powerhouse European talents -- Jules Berry and Dita Parlo -- head the cast of La Signora di Montecarlo. Berry plays a thief working the gambling houses of Monte Carlo, with Parlo acting as his accomplice. Hoping to go straight, Parlo gets the opportunity when she renews her acquaintance with ex-flame Claudio Lehmann, whose brother Berry has targeted for fleecing. The film's happy ending wouldn't have been possible under Hollywood's strict Hays Office regime, which demanded punishment of all criminals, even sympathetic ones.
