Undeniably one of the most glamorous actresses to ever grace the silver screen, Marlene Dietrich stars as the impoverished Countess Claire Ledoux in Flame of New Orleans. With only one thing on her mind -- to marry a mean of means -- Ledoux's engagement to Charles Giraud (Roland Young) appeared to be smooth seas ahead until Captain Robert Latour (Bruce Cabot) stormed into town and took the wind out of her sails. Though it would take fainting spells and double identities to delay and disguise the truth, the Countess would discover that the greatest treasure of all -- a heart of gold -- is worth more than a pot of it.
