I Was An Adventuress- Where's the Beef *
17 February 2011
Warning: Spoilers
This was an absolutely miserable film. It's basically the story of 3 thieves-ballet dancer Zorina, who was basically no actress, as she proved when she was replaced by Ingrid Bergman in "Casablanca," as well as Erich Von Stroheim and Peter Lorre. They use all sorts of tactics to woo their victims and then steal from them, primarily jewelry. Of course, one of the victims is Richard Greene, but love follows between Zorina and Greene, and they wed.

The film fails to explain why Lorre took the actions he did in the end. Was he really a good natured guy?

The most exciting scene of this dull film was the car chase, but that literally loses gas as well.

Suddenly, Zorina is performing "Swan Lake." The whole film is one big mystery, and badly made at that. There is definitely a problem of continuity and lack of interest here.
