Movie Reviews

Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 10/10 by Ken HankeA beautiful little movie that has weathered its 80 years effortlessly.
User Review - 10/10 by Nandi CTalk about a tear jerker!! Anyway, William Powell is a convicted murderer on his way to die in prison, when he meets Kay Francis on a boat bound back to the US, and she's sick with an incurable sickness. The thing that keeps this movie memorable is the champagne glasses breaking. when this film came out, that was thing then. But it's like a doomed situation with no way out. check it out and bring your tissue.
User Review - 8/10 by Super KI'm pretty sure I saw a remake of this that blew like the high school slut. But then I saw this one, and immediately wanted to see more films with Powell and Francis together. Talk about sexy.
User Review - 8/10 by Greg WCharming comedy/drama about fugitive Powell falling in love with the terminally ill Kay Francis.
User Review - 8/10 by Cort JOutstanding drama romance, great cast. William Powell and Aline Mac Mahon are particularly good. Very well written and directed.
User Review - 8/10 by I'm El Capitano! AGreat film about a couple of people who's futures do not look good, and they meet on a boat from Hong Kong to San Francisco. Just a great story, great supporting cast. This is one of those forgotten movies that you wonder why more people don't talk about more. Of course it stars the genius that was William Powell, so I am a little biased.
User Review - 8/10 by Stella Dwhat a great movie. the plot may sound ridiculous but it works like a charm. tragedy should always be this much fun. the supporting characters deserve special mention and i particularly enjoyed aline macmahon as the phony countess. 'don't smudge my bangs!' priceless
User Review - 6/10 by Antonius BOverly schmaltzy, but works, just. A ship bound to San Francisco from Hong Kong has some interesting passengers. One of them is a convicted criminal, being escorted back to California by a policeman. Another is a sickly heiress. The criminal and the heiress meet and fall in love. Cue romance, and a tough choice... It's the intrigue that makes this story watchable. The romance is of your usual conventional soppy variety, so really nothing to write about there, except that it does influence the criminal's actions (adversely, I might add). Decent performances by William Powell and Kay Francis in the lead roles. The policeman, played by Warren Hymer, is quite one-dimensional, however. Even worse is Frank McHugh as the drunk: very hammy and irritating. He does provide the best scene of the movie, however. The mirror scene was Chaplinesque in its hilarity.

User Review - 6/10 by jay nWilliam Powell and Kay Francis are well matched in this ultra romantic but somewhat preposterous weepie. Frank McHugh and particularly Aline MacMahon are a lot of fun in secondary roles. The brevity of the running time keeps the story moving along.
