Review - Lady of the Tropics
Not a terrible concept for a movie, but ruined by the casting of Lamarr who doesn't look at all like she's half Asian and couldn't actually act.

Description: | American Bill Carey (Robert Taylor) goes to Saigon where he meets the beautiful half-caste Manon (Hedy Lamarr) and falls in love. But Manon is pursued by Pierre Delaroch, a wealthy Frenchman who wants her but has no intention of marrying her. Bill and Manon marry, but Delaroch arranges it so that Manon can never get a passport out of the country. Manon makes a deal—if Delaroch gives Bill a job and sends him away for a month, she will stay with Delaroch. When Bill returns, he finds out and goes to kill Delaroch. Manon gets there first and kills Delaroch and then herself. |
