Shady lady in the tropics Dorothy Mackaill strikes matches on her thumbnail and flames in the pants of as sinister a bunch as ever crawled out of the woodwork, in one of the sleaziest movies of the Pre-Code era. Nina Mae McKinney, in one of her few featured acting roles in a Hollywood movie, plays the hotel proprietress, itself a rarity for a Black character in the early 30s. – Text courtesy of Film Forum
