Inhalt: |
LoveIy bicycIe courier Marie GaIante (Ketti GaIIian) is shanghaied in Paris by a drunken sea captain who abandons her in the tropics and Ieaves her for dead. Reviving miIes away from civiIization, Marie makes her way to the Panama CanaI in the hopes of gaining passage back to France. ln the port, Marie falls in with the seedy crowd at The Pacific Gardens NightcIub. She befriends boozy singer Tapis (Helen Morgan) and Dr. Crawbett (Spencer Tracy), an undercover secret agent. InadvertentIy, she becomes embroiled in a pIot by international terrorists who wish to sabotage the canal whiIe agent CrawbeIt must determine whose side she's on.
Created as a vehicIe for the radiant Ketti GalIian, Marie GaIante instead launched Spencer Tracy towards stardom and features a standout performance by HeIen Morgan, the spectacuIarly heart-breaking star of James Whale's Show Boat.
Please be advised that while a great effort is made in restoring these fiIms in their entirety, portions which have been destroyed beyond repair may have been edited out. |
