White Cargo *** (1942, Hedy Lamarr, Walter Pidgeon, Richard Carlson, Frank Morgan, Bramwell Fletcher, Richard Ainley, Reginald Owen, Henry O’Neill) – Classic Movie Review 6299
Director Richard Thorpe’s 1942 MGM film is a daft, but endearingly simple-minded old-style romantic adventure drama movie of love-hate triangle goings-on in the jungle, with Leon Gordon adapting his own play from 1923. Walter Pidgeon stars […]
