Five Came Back (1939)

£0.00


Country: US
Technical: bw 75m
Director: John Farrow
Cast: Chester Morris, Lucille Ball, Wendy Barrie, John Carradine

Synopsis:

Twelve passengers of a stricken plane crashland in the South American jungle, and only five of them can safely make the return, leaving the rest the prey of angry natives.

Review:

An oft-imitated tale, this RKO quickie is nevertheless preferable to any of its successors for its pace, economy and general gusto. Not dissimilar to Stagecoach, with Ball being the Claire Trevor character (what a pity we cannot see her red hair!)
