WHIRLPOOL * »
Jack Holt, Jean Arthur, Lila Lee, Allen Jenkins. Direction by Roy Wheil. Columbia.
A man who has become a convict through a miscarriage of justice is impelled by a mistaken sense of nobility to trick his wife into the belief that he is dead. In the course of time she marries again, and it is
his own daughter who eventually discovers the status of affairs, which can only culminate in disaster. In view of this melodramatic plot, the treatment is fairly satisfactory, and unpleasant details have been held to a minimum.
