Dangerous Paradise (1930)

This starts out in a perfectly grand manner, all about strenuous life in the South Sea Islands. There are suave gamblers, murderous wrestlers, Dick Arlen, looking handsome in a yachting costume, and Nancy Carroll being fascinatingly pursued. Then something happens to the story, which Joseph Conrad would never recognize as his "Victory," and the climax leaves you sitting there wondering what it's all about.
