A composer (John Garrick) goes to Devil's Island for killing his wife's lover, then writes an opera about it.

Jeffrey M. Anderson

Combustible Celluloid

This odd, silly melodrama starts out like a maudlin musical but takes a few surprising turns and winds up an off-kilter, Pre-Code classic.

It manages to cram an awful lot into its compact 80 minutes, but this becomes its weakness.

Rated: 2.5/5
