About The Notorious Sophie Lang
After an extended stay in England, Sophie Lang returns to America. She is beautiful, sophisticated--and a notorious jewel thief. A New York police detective who's been trying to nail her finally comes up with what seems a foolproof scheme--to catch her off guard by having her fall for a handsome and suave jewel thief who happens to be in the U.S. traveling under an assumed name.
Directed by Ralph Murphy, William Cameron Menzies, The Notorious Sophie Lang leans on a strong ensemble — Gertrude Michael, Paul Cavanagh, Alison Skipworth — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1934.
