Movie review - "Danger in the Pacific" (1942) **

 Part of Universal's Aces of Action series with Andy Devine - this one has Leo Carillo. They and Don Terry fly to the Pacific to discover some fly.

Don Terry is a bit of a charisma vacuum. Louise Albritton is on hand as Terry's aviatrix fiance and she's bright and fun but only is kind of involved. The rest we have Terry Carillo and Devine who look puffy and out of shape traipsing through the backlot jungle. It is set in the Pacific but feels more like fake Africa.

Turhan Bey has a small bit as a baddy henchman. Edgar Barrier has a bigger part as a villain.

This is sluggish and not very good.
