When a music-hall dancer is murdered, a moss rose marks the page of a Bible next to her body. Luckily, another chorus girl saw a gentleman leaving the lodgings. She approaches him directly, saying she'll go to the police if he doesn't meet her demands, but he brushes her off contemptuously. When he learns she's dead serious, he tries to buy her off with a thick wad of pound notes. But it's not money she's after; all she wants is two weeks at his country estate, living the life of a lady.
Directed by Gregory Ratoff, Moss Rose leans on a strong ensemble — Peggy Cummins, Victor Mature, Ethel Barrymore — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
