...night last week those historic phantoms had a new historic event to talk over. For as surely as if the votes were already counted, as definitely as if the President had already signed the bill, the U. S. had that day finally jettisoned a principle as old as John Paul Jones, a principle for which it had twice gone to war-the freedom of the seas...
When big-time Swindler Paul Reynard (Basil Rathbone) muffs that million-pound loan in London, his fussy French creditors threaten him with jail. Without batting a basilisk eye or ruffling a hair over his sinister profile, Swindler Paul explains to them that he forged the securities they hold for his prior loans; if they do not lend him 100,000,000 francs more, he will ruin them. This bit of blackmail lands Paul in Devil's Island. To Rio de Janeiro promptly dash Paul's dog-faithful bodyguard Dirk (rough-and-humble Victor McLaglen) to tend bar, Paul...
...comber, handsome, down-&-out U. S. engineer Bill Gregory (Robert Cummings), insults Singer Irene, she falls in love with him.

The Freudian knot is cut by Dirk, who grapples with Paul when he tries to shoot Irene, inadvertently makes the redundant husband shoot...

Derringer had won 24 games this year, had struck out 124 batters and walked only 35. Yet even his most devoted admirers feared the worst...
...meticulously painted against quiet-colored Tuscan landscapes of rolling hills, flowing water, umbrella pines. But posterity is in no danger of mistaking the nationality of his subjects. Brock-hurst's Americans are American, his English sitters unmistakably English. Suavest of his U. S. portraits is that of Mrs. Paul Mellon, the Vassar graduate and divorcee whom Banker Andrew's only son married in 1935.* His drawings and etchings show the same care for line and texture, have the finish of his commissioned work but more freedom...
