		Astor was at the center of a scandal in 1936, when her suit for custody of her daughter Marylyn led to the disclosure of a personal diary, allegedly documenting her liaisons with a number of prominent Hollywood figures.
		The controversy did not destroy her career, however; indeed, in many ways it peaked with a series of splendid and acclaimed second lead and occasional lead performances as passionate, driven women in such fine dramas and comedies as "The Prisoner of Zenda" (1937), "Midnight" (1939) and "The Palm Beach Story" (1942).
		Her striking supporting cameo as a prostitute in "Act of Violence" (1949) and her domineering mother in "Stranger in My Arms" (1959) were but two of the fine performances she was to give through the early 1960s.

		As Maggie Patterson, Davis is a spritely southern belle in charge of a fertile plantation, and in love with a boozy, irresponsible pilot, Peter Van Allen (George Brent).
		The result is a classy, cocktail and conversation melodrama, made sublime by the wonderfully bitchy dueling between Davis and Astor.
		Aviator Peter Van Allen (George Brent) impulsively weds Sandra (Mary Astor), an ambitious concert pianist, but soon after, the marriage is annulled.

	Mary Astor
		The plot, which dances all around the stolen Middle Eastern statuette of the title, is too baroque to try to follow, and it doesn't make a bit of difference.
		The dialogue, much of it lifted straight from Hammett, is delivered with whip-crack speed and sneering ferocity, as Bogie faces off against Peter Lorre and Sidney Greenstreet, fends off the duplicitous advances of Mary Astor, and roughs up a cringing "gunsel" played by Elisha Cook Jr.
		The strong supporting cast includes Eugene Pallette, Mary Astor, Ralph Morgan, Jack LaRue, Helen Vinson, Etienne Girardot and Paul Cavanaugh.
