Marlene Dietrich is a French beauty and The Flame of New Orleans in a pre-Civil War Big Easy, balancing a romance with a rich banker (Roland Young) with the deceptions she used to snag him. But when a dashing sailor (Bruce Cabot) arrives from the old country to woo her, her tangled web of lies begin to untangle in hilarious fashion. A fun, lightweight farce and the first American film from acclaimed French director René Clair. Oscar nominated for Best Art Direction.
