Summer Storm
US (1944): Drama
Adapted from Chekov, this saga describes the machinations of a peasant woman (Linda Darnell) to rise to the top by playing man after man until she gets where she wants to get. Simultaneously playing husband, police official and count against each other, lying, stealing jewelry and conniving her way to a possible title, she finally goes too far and is murdered. It's no mystery to figure out who did it and the tortured soul gets away, but justice and the Hollywood code prevail. Douglas Sirk directs a UA cast that also includes George Sanders, Anna Lee, Edward Everett Horton and Sig Ruman. (Arne Andersen, IMDb)
