1h 34m
Directed by Tay Garnett • 1938 • United States
Starring Fredric March, Joan Bennett, Ralph Bellamy
Comedy, mystery, and high-seas adventure meet when socialite and wanted murderer Kay Kerrigan (Joan Bennett, in the role for which she famously dyed her blonde hair brunette) flees the country on a boat bound for Asia. In hot pursuit is womanizing private detective Sam Wye (Fredric March), who’s been hired to track her down. As Sam trails Kay through exotic ports of call, the pair strike up a romance marked by both danger and delightfully barbed banter courtesy of co-screenwriter Dorothy Parker.
