    Sirk's follow-up to Hitler's Madman (and his second feature made in the U.S.) adapts Anton Chekhov's novel The Shooting Party (with a script by Rowland Leigh), in which a cunning but illiterate peasant woman (Linda Darnell in a seductive, manipulative role that would redefine her virtuous starlet persona) pulls cynical imperial magistrate Fedor Petroff (George Sanders) away from his fiancée, with dire results.
