Rick Leland is court-marshaled out of the army because he stole money
and didn’t have time to replace it before being caught. He tries to enlist in the Canadian Army
but his reputation has followed him and they refuse. As persona-non-grata, he boards a Japanese ship bound for
the Orient in late 1941. He meets
Alberta Marlow and they take a shine to each other. She gets very sea sick in the beginning and doesn’t want to
ever see him again. Then she gets
sunburned and remembers she never wanted to see him again.
Throughout this film I kept making comments, it’s really not this way
but it’s this way, I know he’s being followed, I know she’s being
followed. If my viewing partner
becomes blind or can’t figure simple things out, I will be there to point everything
out one scene at a time. This is
good, a lot of action for it’s day and intrigue. 4* (I really liked this movie)
97 min, Action directed by John Huston with Humphrey Bogart,
Mary Astor, Sydney Greenstreet, Charles Halton, Victor Sen Yung, Roland Got.
Note: Imdb 6.8
out of 10, 55% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
Special Note:
This film reunites the cast of the Maltese Falcon, Huston, Bogart, Astor
and Greenstreet. A GREAT
combination of acting!
