In what world is smokin' hot Joan Crawford in love with old goat Otto Kruger? Unless Kruger is obscenely wealthy.
Therefore, where's the dramatic tension? Of course she's going to fall for dashing Clark Gable.
Interestingly, Crawford paid .50 for a c0cktail in the cruise ship lounge. That's equivalent to $10.56 in 2022 money. Heck, I've paid more for c0cktails at my local pub.
Amazing how Joan's face paint was so well-shellacked that it didn't even run while she did the front crawl. Terrible swimmer, though. And that bathing suit. Yikes. How did Americans ever get around to making babies before bikinis.
The whole thing is so stiff and banal it couldn't possibly have taken more than two weeks to shoot. The charm of the two leads isn't enough to keep this boat afloat.
