Gene Tierney and Victor Mature in The Shanghai Gesture

1941. Poppy, a beautiful, privileged young woman, fresh from a European finishing school, falls for “Doctor” Omar (Victor Mature), Gin Sling’s right-hand man.

Just a few years earlier, Gene Tierney had herself returned to the US from school in Switzerland.
