Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Dorothy Lamour was already famous for 'The Jungle Princess' (1936), making this her fourth 'sarong picture' and cementing Hollywood's weird obsession with her as the definitive 'exotic' woman.
The film adapts a 1912 novel by Joseph Conrad — yes, THAT Conrad — but strips every ounce of his moral complexity in favor of matinee thrills.
