Fury of the Jungle

Island tragedies was a common theme in the precode era, and this is another one that tries to capture the depression of someone hiding from his past at a exotic location. While a little uneven, Donald Cook did capture that feeling on occasion. The most significant thing about this film is probably the sizable role Japanese born actress Toshia Mori had as the dangerous lady. Actual Asian actresses in Hollywood was a real rarity in those days, so it was interesting to see how strong shewas.
