SYNOPSIS:Gerald Meldrick (Clark Gable) and Anya Von Duren (Rosalind Russell) have a lot in common. They’re both jewel thieves. And they’re both after the same rock, the fabulous Star of Asia. So they team up – in crime, in love, and in comic adventure that has them jumping on a tramp steamer to elude cops, swindling a Hong Kong merchant prince to nab some cash and battling advancing Japanese troops to strike a blow in World War II.
Buoyed by a top cast, Gable and Russell handle quips, kisses and danger with equal aplomb. The two stars had worked together before, but after losing Gable to Jean Harlow in China Seas and being mere window dressing as he romanced Joan Crawford in Forsaking All Others, Roz finally got her man.

  | M Robert | | This is a rather strange movie -- it starts off as one thing and turns into something else. The jewel theft caper that comprises the first 40 minutes is very enjoyable, and Gable and Roz have nice chemistry. An interlude with Peter Lorre (as a Chinese national!) on a slow boat to China is not very interesting, and shortly thereafter, it turns into a somewhat absurd war movie, probably because the Hays Code required that the main characters must find redemption if they're to live happily ever after. So if you like the stars, watch it for the first section in Bombay only and then skip the rest. I can't give it 2-1/2 stars, so I rounded it up to 3. |
