Review of Red Morning

Red Morning (1934)
6/10
A Simple Story Of Treachery In The South Seas
16 October 2014
"Red Morning" is the story of a ship's captain and his daughter, who are betrayed and left to die by crew members who plan to submit a fraudulent cargo insurance claim.

The two survive the scuttling of the ship and seek refuge on a nearby island where the natives are dangerous.

Hungarian actress Steffi Duna plays the part of the daughter, Kara, with a combination of strength and sensitivity. At times--due to her voice and speech patterns--she reminds me of Greta Garbo.

The film has a simple plot that is not so engaging, but the film is a curiosity, especially in the way the director uses stock footage of natives, sometimes in the background. Some scenes are reminiscent of the Tarzan series of films. The sound quality is not the best. Steffi Duna is the best part of the film.
