“THE Virtuous Sin,” the lurid title for the picturization of Lajos Zilahy’s play “The General,” which was at the Paramount, is a clever comedy with a splendid performance by Walter Huston, who appears as a Russian General-Gregori Platoff.
Cukor adapts a Hungarian play to a fairy-tale Russian setting, with modern and unconventional characters. During the First World War a wife offers herself to a general in order to save her husband from the firing squad.
