Marlene Dietrich sings back home in Indiana. Could you actually imagine her thinking about the moonlight on the Wabasse. She is not exactly Susan Hayward portraying Jane Froman. This is not also Falling in Love, which she sang to Emil Jannings in "The Blue Angel." (1930) After all, it's 27 years later.
This picture falls into the trap that it's so obvious. Two people try to make each other think that they're loaded so they can snatch each other in marriage. Both heavy gamblers, Vittorio De Sica and Dietrich try to play each other literally at the tables. The obvious truth is that they fall for each other and confess their indiscretions. Along comes wealthy Indianan Arthur O'Connell, a widower with a teenage daughter. The latter actually falls for De Sica, while Dietrich sings the above song.
The ending along both boats is so predictable. The scenery is great, but the film itself is a stinker.
