...Slightly Scarlet (Paramount). More than slightly foolish, this decorative melodrama of jewel thieves at work and play on the Riviera belongs to a comparatively new but increasingly comprehensive category of sound-cinemas.

For the city fathers to keep clapping hands over their rubrous noses and shouting their innocence before the Lord is ridiculous. They should demand that only those without sin themselves should cast boulders...
