Writer Georges Duroy (George Sanders) is one social-climbing S.O.B. who does most of his climbing over the warm (and cold) bodies of women. He begins with Rachel (Marie Wilson), a hanger-on in the cafés and Folies Bergere crowd, and then moves on to dally with Clotilde de Morelle (Dame Angela Lansbury). Always striving to move upward on the social scale, he ditches her to marry Madeleine Forestier (Ann Dvorak). Now he gets on the fast track. He persuades Madame Walter (Katherine Emery), the wife of his publisher, to fall in love with him, and then compromises Madeleine to frame a divorce, so he can pursue Madame Walter's daughter, Suzanne (Susan Douglas Rubes). He moves along so well that ere long he is in legal position to usurp the title of one of France's most noble houses. The moral, at the end, is it is okay to mess with French women, but triffling with French titles is going too far.

| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThat it is a forgotten film today, is unfortunate. |

| User ReviewPaul DWatching it right now. It's a bit harsher then Dangerous Liaisons which this story reminds me of, now sure which book was written first but it's the same idea. This one has a bit more ruthlessness and more people get hurt. |
| User ReviewAj VSort of an interesting story, and sort of not, it's hard to say if this movie was good or bad, so I'll say it's just okay. |
