Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox film Great God Gold is a 1935 film. It was Arthur Lubin's second film as director.[1][2]

Plot

In the late 1920s, "Lucky" John Hart has a reputation as a stock market speculator. He does an interview with reported Phil "Stu" Stuart, which predicts the Wall Street Crash. Hart sells his investments just before the Crash.

Later lawyers Simon and Nitto suggest Hart use his reputation to make money in receiverships. Hart agrees in part because he desires Elena, the wife of Nitto's nephew Frank. Elena and Hart begin an affair.

Harper takes over receivership of the Excelsior Hotel whose president George Harper commits suicide. Harper's daughter Marcia seeks revenge. She falls in love with Stu.

Frank discovers his wife's infidelity and shoots Frank.

Cast

Production

Filming began December 1934.

Reception

The New York Times called it "a half hearted attack on the receivership racket... it's feeble as a crusade and sluggish as melodrama."[3]

Writing for The Spectator, Graham Greene described the film as "an excellent American melodrama", commenting that despite the lack of big-name stars the acting displayed a "delightful vividness" and "even the hats have been carefully chosen: the crookeder the deal, the more flowing the brim".[4]
