Synopsis:
"A silken siren - with claws!"
A sexy young manicurist living with her older backwoodsman husband in a small Canadian town finds herself attracted to a young, rich and famous divorce lawyer who comes to town on vacation.
You just know what's going to happen when the biggest flirt on the planet sees him-wedding ring be damned.
In a bit of a reversal for Canadians who are used to having parts of our nation standing in for the USA, we have California shooting locations standing in for mythical Mantrap, Manitoba! And as with any American film with Canada in it, expect Mounties!
Bow declared this as her favourite film. Defty directed by Victor Fleming and beautifully photographed by James Wong Howe’s (one of his first as DOP).
Look forward to seeing you there!
