This Woman Is Mine

That's the first time I watch this film, rather hard to find besides You Tube channel. It looks like a Paramount film, more than an Universal one, and the style, atmosphere, is typical of the forties, early or late. Franchot Tone is obviously the lead in this adventure western, and also ship yarn - after all sea adventures was a Frank Lloyd's trademark - very pleasant to discover, where comedy elements are agreeable to bear. John Carroll in a Frenchman character is maybe a miscast, but that doesn't restricts the quality of this feature. The second part is far more exciting than the first, more action packed. This is not the Frank Lloyd that I will remember the most, unlike MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY, but it's worth seeing.
