Corsair (1931)
Roland V. West qhia films kaum plaub hauv nws cov hauj lwm. Critics muab peb tug nws films kom yav tom ntej. Qhia hnub poob qhov thriller uas ntsiag to Puav nyob rau hauv 1926. West qhia nws zaj duab xis tshaj acclaimed, Liam ua tub sab (1929), uas ua rau ib Oscar nomination rau nws cov phooj ywg Chester Morris. Nyob rau hauv 1930, Hnub poob thiab Morris ho collaborated rau nws lub xeem classic, Tus puav Whispers, lub suab remake ntawm Puav.
I haven’t been able to watch Liam ua tub sab but viewed both Puav thiab Tus puav Whispers dhau peb lub xyoos. Kuv enjoyed ob films, uas coj kuv mus tos ntsoov yuav ua qhov Corsair (1931). Roland V. West left the film industry after directing Corsair (affiliate link) to oversee business ventures with his girlfriend Thelma Todd. West nrum Todd hauv no zaj duab xis nrog nws tus phooj ywg zoo thiab nquag collaborator Chester Morris.

Kuv tuaj deb ntawm naam txog tus hluas stockbroker, uas puv bootlegger qhia nws tus thawj thiab tus nais’ ntxhais ib zaj lus qhia, txoj. Corsair yog tsis ib zaj duab xis phem. Nws cia li tsis raws li qhov teev tseg ua ntej lawm ob films tug cwj pwm. Corsair turned out to be an average melodrama with an interesting story line.
Chester Morris portrayed lub stockbroker, John tug niam txiv dav. Thelma Todd ua si Alison Corning. Tug niam txiv dav steals booze rau ntawm lub zos bootlegger thiab muab tau rau cov neeg muas zaub tom hiav txwv nyob rau hauv nws lub nkoj, tus Corsair. Los ntawm cov tshuaj delivering at sea, Tug niam txiv dav technically tsis txhaum qhov kev cai chov.
Tug niam txiv dav es muab nws tso rau ntawm kev sib tsoo kom nrog gangsters “John loj” thiab “Ntses ntsej muag”. Tug niam txiv dav will’ txoj kev ntse kev khiav no yam li nws pub?
West tshuav films txawm Thelma Todd tseem ua nyob rau hauv zaj duab xis. Nyob rau lub hlis ntuj nqeg 16, 1935, 29-xyoo Thelma Todd nyob rau hauv koj lub nkas-las nws thiab West koom tsev. Todd yog zaum hauv tsheb uas khiav tshuab. Tub ceev xwm ntseeg Todd tuag cov pa roj carbon monoxide lom lawm tab sis yuav tsis paub hais tias yog tua neeg los yog yus tua yus.
Watch Corsair and see if you agree with me. Nws yog tus films zoo xws teb chaws nruab nrab?
