Cashier and part-time starving artist Christopher Cross is absolutely smitten with the beautiful Kitty March. Kitty plays along, but she's really only interested in Johnny, a two-bit crook. When Kitty and Johnny find out that art dealers are interested in Chris's work, they con him into letting Kitty take credit for the paintings. Cross allows it because he is in love with Kitty, but his love will only let her get away with so much.
Dir. Fritz Lang · With Edward G. Robinson, Joan Bennett, Dan Duryea

Spain in the 1930s is the place to be for a man of action like Robert Jordan.

He awaits the right time to blow up a crucial bridge in order to halt the enemy's progress.
