Naughty Myrna in her days as a big-haired vamp plays a gypsy wildcat with slinky eyes and perfect teeth who puts the Nubi into 'nubile' in this fascinating early talkie melodrama made at the twin crossroads before Alexander Korda's return to Europe and post-Code Myrna's transformation into the Pefect Wife.
Here Myrna wreaks havoc on a hitherto happy household, man by man, to the embellishment of almost continuous Vitaphone musical accompaniment, superb photography by John Seitz and charmingly phoney-looking model work (including the squall of the title, presumably so named to evoke memories of the previous year's silent classic 'The Wind').
