The Queen of Spades (1949)
St. Petersburg, 1806: Als dem eigensinnigen Offizier Herman Suvorin Gerüchte zu Ohren kommen, dass die alte Gräfin Ranevskaya sechzig Jahre zuvor einen Pakt mit dem Grafen von Saint Germain eingegangen sei, um von diesem die Möglichkeit zu erhalten, mit drei Spielkarten im Glücksspiel unweigerlich zu gewinnen, fasst er den Entschluss, dieses Geheimnis in Erfahrung zu bringen. Zu diesem Zweck macht er zunächst der jungen Gesellschafterin der Gräfin schöne Augen, die ihm die Möglichkeit verschaffen soll, mit der Ranevskaya Kontakt aufzunehmen - doch sein Vorhaben nimmt einen unerwarteten Verlauf...
