(aka 'Port of Wickedness')
directed by Howard Hawks and
USA 1935
|
A wide-open San Francisco, circa 1890, is the background for one of Howard Hawks's intelligent love triangles: Miriam Hopkins is a mail-order bride whose husband-to-be is killed on the night of her arrival; gambler Edward G. Robinson offers her protection, drifter Joel McCrea offers her solace. A boisterous film with a serious undertone provided by Hawks's preoccupation with the moral compromise necessary for survival.

This image is a little hazy for my liking. There is also a fair amount of damage, especially in the first 30 minutes. on the positive - contrast is good. It really is shame that MGM couldn't put a little effort in for a Howard Hawks film. They do have some uncharacteristic DUBs offered with similar subtitle options and even a trailer, which seems more than they usually do lately. At least the price is appropriate. Great film - worthy of better treatment! |
