Pine-Thomas' second film isn't as good as its first despite many of the same crew (DOP, star, writer). In part due to the story but mostly because the handling is so flabby and dull.
The support cast is fine - J Carrol Naish and Nils Asther are on hand, as ally and baddy. There's also novelty in the female lead is played by Eva Gabor in her debut - she hadn't grown into her looks though.
Its set in a fictitious country. Arlen is a pilot there a la Only Angels Have Wings. He gets involved in some dodgy people.
It lacks humour, pace and action. I normally like these sort of films, set in the studio third world, but its dull.
