Picture Brides - 1934 - 6/10

Brazil. The women ride the steamer into the jungle where the diamond mine is.
And the men. Who ordered brides Specifying blondes…
They warn one that her peroxide will eventually run out. “Too late then,” she laughs.
The men are a mixed lot, from a crafty, brutal overseer to an embezzler on the run.
Pre-Code film is missing eight minutes. Attempted rape, rape aftermath, and innuendo dialogue.
Alan Hale and Dorothy Mackaill overshadow the others as the wicked boss and sharp-tongued hussy.
If puzzled, consider 1932 was still Depression era, leading many to desperate choices.
