Summary: Extremely stylish, well-acted soap opera in the "Madame X" vein, with singer Francis recounting events leading up to her murder of oily Rathbone. Visually arresting, this looks more like a 1920s German film than a late 1930s Hollywood product; in fact director May was a German émigré. Based very closely on the 1935 German film "Mazurka."

The first half hour is wonderful but it really loses something in the extended flashback in the middle that makes up half the film. The drama seems to have been tamed and distilled in a way that removes a lot of the tension. It does pick up at the end, though, and I noticed some really nice shots.
