Slave Ship (1937)


20th Century Fox
Directed by Tay Garnett
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Fox Movie Channel)

Warner Baxter tangles with first mate Wallace Beery aboard slave ship of title. Baxter is trying to go straight since he married pretty Elizabeth Allan, neglecting to tell her about his past before bringing her aboard for their honeymoon. Beery and crew resent having a woman on board and mutiny, heading straight for Africa and another cargo. It spends way too much time on the romantic angle and not nearly enough on the slavery one.
