68 min.
A torch singer (Carole Lombard) banished from Malay nightclubs for “arousing” the natives, absconds with a sadistic plantation owner (Charles Laughton) who takes turns tyrannizing his new wife and his pet monkey. This wacky precursor to Apocalypse Now offers a heady brew of tribal insurrections, sexy ex-convicts, and a delirious Laughton as self-appointed “King of the Jungle.”
