The Power and the Prize

This film bombed at the box office, resulting in a loss for MGM of $883,000 ($8.3M in 2018) according to studio records.

The entire film from minute 10 to minute 20 is reversed, as revealed by (1) the backwards lettering in the London establishing shot and the signs visible in the back window during Cliff's taxi ride with his father, (2) male characters shaking hands with their left hands, and (3) breast pocket handkerchiefs appearing on the wearer's right side in this section and the traditional left side in all other parts of the film. It is first noticeable when the taxi pulls up to the Everett's apartment - the lettering of "36 Sutton Place" on the awning is reversed. It ends when Cliff Barton leaves Mr. Carew's office in London. It's as if the second reel of the film was printed reversed for some reason.
