The Citadel
Verfilmung des teilweise autobiografischen Romans von A.J. Cronin, der auf den Zusammenhang zwischen ärztlichem Berufsethos und Milieueinfluß hinweist.

White Cargo
Pidgeon is working at an African rubberstation. Carlson, his new assistant, is the replacement for Fletcher, whose mental and physical destruction renders him incapable of helping Pidgeon. Carlson is determined not to let this happen to him, but this is easier said than done. Lamarr, a sexy jungle maiden Pidgeon has warned Carlson about, pays a call on this new man. Pidgeon finds her there and to...mehrsses her out. Now Carlson finds himself in the same situation as Fletcher. The natives refuse to obey him, and Carlson is pining for the enticing Lamarr. She eventually returns, much to Carlson's delight. Though Pidgeon is against it, Carlson is determined to marry her. Lamarr, thought to be a native, is actually the daughter of an Egyptian, making her a Caucasian, which eliminates any sort of racial prejudice against the marriage. After they are wed, Lamarr quickly grows bored with her new spouse. Carlson takes ill, and Lamarr sees the chance to be rid of him. She starts to give Carlson some deadly poison, but Pidgeon catches her in the act. He forces the vixen to drink the poison herself, then sends her into the jungle where she dies. Carlson returns home after regaining his strength, leaving Pidgeon in need of a new employee, though he no longer must fear any man's destruction at the hands of Lamarr. Lamarr, clad in sarong and dancing in an oh-so-sexy fashion, needless to say, is the main attraction in the film. She swings her hips and sashays around the floor, breaking not only Carlson's and Fletcher's hearts, but capturing the passions of any warm-blooded male viewing the film. ki
