Description: Hollywood, CA: RKO Pictures, (1946). (1946). - A 7-1/2 inch high by 9-7/8 inch wide glossy black & white vintage photograph depicting Adolphe Menjou seated next to Ginger Rogers in a cinema, demanding the return of his stickpin which she has stolen.

This a vintage publicity photo, not a reproduction, sent out to cinemas at the time. Text describing the scene is mounted with glue on the verso. It reads: "CONTINUITY LAYOUT NO. 4. Heartbeat - Story in Pictures - Acting on Cadubert's advice, Arlette approaches her first victim, Adolphe Menjou, and 'lifts' his stickpin, only to be trapped by him in a Paris movie theater. Fearful of the consequences, Arlette returns the stolen jewelry. To her surprise, Menjou takes Arlette to his home where he discloses that he is an Ambassador and that she must steal a watch from a young attache to avoid being turned over to the gendarmerie."
After escaping from a reformatory for girls, Ginger Rogers becomes the best student in Dr. Aristide's Parisian school for pickpockets. She is soon caught by an elderly Ambassador played by Adolphe Menjou whose stickpin she attempted to lift. The Ambassador blackmails her into stealing a watch from a handsome young attache played by Jean-Pierre Aumont. As events unfold, she soon falls in love with the young man. Very good .
