Slightly Scarlet

About This Movie

Slightly Scarlet is a curious blend of comedy, crime, and drama, directed by Louis J. Gasnier. Set against the backdrop of the French Riviera, it has this atmospheric charm that really captures the glitzy yet seedy underbelly of high society. Lucy Stavrin, played with a certain sly charisma, is a fascinating character—a faux countess caught in a web of deceit and blackmail. The pacing feels like a leisurely stroll on the beach, yet it picks up as the stakes rise with the jewel heist. The performances are solid, particularly the interplay between Lucy and Malatroff, which adds depth to the film. It’s distinctive for its blend of light-hearted moments with darker themes of deception and greed.

Interesting take on class and deception.Watch for the dynamic between Lucy and Malatroff.Distinctive atmosphere of the French Riviera.
