The Cheat

Pampered Long Island socialite Elsa Carlyle (Tallulah Bankhead) had a loving husband (Harvey Stephens)... and a compulsive gambling habit. Having dropped $10,000, she embezzles from a charity fund, and her scheme to make it all back on the market fails. An oily importer (Irving Pichel) is willing to bail her out... but is the marker going to be her marriage? Steamy remake of the 1915 DeMille silent co-stars Jay Fassett. 74 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English; Subtitles: English; audio commentary; theatrical trailer.
