Hi Keith,
thanks for the link - I know your great work on that matter. I was so interested in this relationship that read her doughter memories - very interesting book by the way. the book itself inspired me to watch some other Marlene Dietrich movies.

Hi all,
I like The Spoilers indeed, but I was surprised to know that it wasn't first ecranization of the same plot.

What is interesting: I don't like Duke caracter at all when I saw this movie for the first time. He wasn't very attrective from the beginning I guess. Too selfish.

To my opinion this movie has a perfect cast. I like Marlein Deithich and Randolf Scott and they fit very well to their parts.
Keith, the impression of lasting affair between Duke and Dietrich is certainly more strong in Seven Sinners, but there was always some kind of magic between them.

Harry Carey - is the one whom I like very much in this movie. But always when I see him in Duke movies I'm worring that I haven't seen his early films. I think it will be mighty interesting.

And of course final fight is one of the best fights. May be it is not sound good for a woman but I always enjoy watching it.

Regards,
Vera
