Product Description

Ebb Tide (1937)

Director:

James P. Hogan

Writers:

Robert Louis Stevenson (novel), Lloyd Osbourne (novel)

Stars:

Oskar Homolka, Frances Farmer, Ray Milland

Technicolor is the main attraction of this overheated South Seas adventure. Ray Milland, Akim Tamiroff and Barry Fitzgerald play three shifty sailors who commandeer a smallpox-ridden boat and set out to sea. A typhoon washes them ashore on a faraway Pacific island, which is ruled by a white religious fanatic (Lloyd Nolan) who has set himself up as the local god. The three sailors anxiously await an opportunity to appropriate the "god's" valuable stash of pearls and head for the mainland. Only one of the sailors escapes to tell his story; check out the cast list and guess which one survives. The third filmization of Robert Louis Stevenson and Lloyd Osborne's novel, {-Ebb Tide} is rough going until Lloyd Nolan shows up to deliver the picture's best and subtlest performance. The story would be filmed again in 1947 as Adventure Island.

Good South Seas drama. "Go Green" on the disc is unrelated and pointless.

Good South Seas drama. "Go Green" on the disc is unrelated and pointless.
It's fun to watch a 1937 movie in color. Frances Farmer it's a little different looking, but very pretty nonetheless. A quarantined ship goes to the tropical paradise island of Tehua, where they meet madman Lloyd Nolan. There's also an exciting storm sequence. Frances Farmer had a difficult second half of her life.
