SYNOPSIS
Man and wife live a hum-drum existence until they receive a big inheritance from a rich relative. Their new fortune takes them on a globe trotting cruise where they each become involved with a new significant other. Eventually the couple become shipwrecked and are rescued by a Chinese junk. With their fortune now gone, they discover their love for one another and return to England (and their drab existence) which they had tried to escape from. |
TRIVIA
Panned by critics and audiences when it was first released in 1932. Hitch & Alma wrote the screenplay from their experiences after visiting the locales. Hitch wanted a belly dancing scene in the Folies Beregere (Paris) sequence. Censors cut out a raunchy swimming scene. Only 20% of the film contains any dialogue. |
