A condescending grifter emigrates to America and makes a killing, deceiving and ripping off everybody who crosses his path. The movie opens with the discovery of his murdered corpse, and then flashes back to reveal how he ended up that way. George Sanders plays the title role, and if that's not a case of spot-on typecasting, it's awfully close.
