It's not *The Fugitive Kind* ...from an earlier decade...
Iconic star-making auteur directed the film.
It is revealed that the casino owner, a dragon lady type, is the rich girl's long-lost mother and ex-wife of the rich man who?s purchased the casino property. A big blow-up ensues. In the end, the mother is insulted by the daughter and shoots her. The father hears the pop of the gun but thinks it?s a firecracker ? after all, it?s New Year?s in Shanghai.

There?s more to this story than a rich girl chasing a rogue.
The owner of the gaming den fears being put out of business by the wealthy man who bought the property it?s on. This owner has dug up dirt on the wealthy man with plans to blackmail him. When it's revealed that the rich young woman who frequents this den of iniquity and who is deeply in debt - is actually the rich man's daughter - the plot thickens.
Interesting cast: an old-timer, a young beauty, an up-and-coming minor leading man, plus excellent character actors (of both sexes).

I'm going to set this thread free..
The song is "With the Wind and the Rain in Your Hair" - words and music by Jack Lawrence and Clara Edwards. I think it works beautifully as a romantic theme throughout *The Lady Eve*.
Jack Lawrence wrote either words and music or lyrics alone for several well-known songs: "If I Didn't Care," "All or Nothing at All," "Beyond the Sea," "Tenderly," and others.
In around 1940 he came across the sheet music for Clara Edwards' (then a 61 year old grandmother) tune "With the Wind and the Rain in Your Hair." He was enchanted by the title and thought the song, with changes, had "hit potential." It wasn't easy to arrange a meeting with Mrs. Edwards or convince her to accept his music and lyric additions. But he did, and the song was a great success. Mrs. Edwards was then eager to work with Lawrence again but that turned out to be their only collaboration.
This thread is now open for new business...
