Description
"Notorious womanizer Count Wladyslaw Sergius Karamzin rents a magnificent villa in Monte Carlo with his two female 'cousins.' The decadent trio share the lavish lifestyle available only to fabulously wealthy aristocrats. Beneath the veneer of respectability lurks an ugly secret: the trio are flat broke and finance their sumptuous existence through counterfeiting and the funds the Count is able to glean from the upperclass wives he coldly and very successfully seduces ... Billed as the 'First Million Dollar Movie, ' this powerful silent classic still shocks today."--Container.
