Victory (1940)
Country: US
Technical: bw 79m
Director: John Cromwell
Cast: Fredric March, Betty Field, Cedric Hardwicke
Synopsis:
A recluse lives out his idyll on an island in the Dutch East Indies, only to be disturbed by the arrival of a band of pirates who want to deprive him of his girl.
Review:
Uneasy adventure drama based on the book by Joseph Conrad. March is fine but Field seems miscast, and this third Paramount version is no closer to the allusive quality of Conrad's storytelling than the picturebook melodrama of the previous two.
