¿Sabías que...?
- CuriosidadesNYT notes that this was William Powell's first starring role for Warner Brothers. He made a total of nine films at the studio.
- PifiasThe footage of the natives and drum players was used again when Hugh and Phillipa looked at them when they were in his bungalow.
- Citas
Dr. George March: [Upon finding his wife at Dawltry's house] There's going to be no scandal in my house. But Dawltry is leaving Khota for good!
Philippa Crosby March: And so am I, George. And I'm also leaving YOU. I came out here in search of love, and happiness. I found instead a machine - a machine of cold steel. As cold as the instruments you use to probe the bodies of unconscious patients on operating tables... Nursing hasn't changed me from a woman. But surgery in the tropics has changed the man I came to marry. So I turned to Hugh Dawltry for the love and affection you didn't give me.
Dr. George March: If I didn't know that you were suffering from a pathological complaint common to the tropics, I should think you were neurotic. It's just a physical heat wave!
Dr. George March: [Now turning to glare at Hugh Dawltry] And that CAD took advantage of it!
Philippa Crosby March: But not of me, George. YOU did that! All you wanted was a wife. ANY woman would have done as well. And some other woman can take my place from now on!
Powell's charismatic as usual but he can't breathe much life into this tired script. It's a clichéd story, even for the time. Not exciting or particularly interesting, at least for my tastes. Reading the other reviews here, I'm kind of blown away by the praise. I had to check my TV to make sure we're all talking about the same movie. I like William Powell as much as the next person but this is mediocre stuff.
