“A Famous Play.....Now A Great Picture!”

Joe Bonaparte (William Holden) has the hands for the violin, and his father (Lee J. Cobb) wants him at it, but Joe walks into a boxing gym instead and starts winning. Gangsters circle once the money shows, among them Eddie Fuseli (Joseph Calleia), and Joe's manager Tom Moody (Adolphe Menjou) and Lorna Moon (Barbara Stanwyck) are both caught up in the business. Mamoulian leaves the violin in its case, in a house Joe has stopped coming home to.
