Star power entertaining thriller set in India and China but filmed
in California. It tickles the bones even though the plot is slight and
the story line is farfetched and hardly believable. Veteran studio director
Clarence Brown (”Night Flight”/”To Please a Lady”/”The Possessed”) keeps
the nonsense bubbling with excitement by letting the stars, Russell and
Gable, showing good chemistry together, turn on their charm in a display
of razzle-dazzle retorts, which is about all anyone could do with such
a diverting but ordinary romantic-comedy chase story. The story is by John
H. Kafka and the writers are Edwin Justus Mayer, Anita Loos and Leon Gordon.

In Bombay, Gerald Meldrick (Clark Gable) poses as a Lloyd’s of London
insurance agent and Anya Von Duren (Rosalind Russell) pretends to be an
aristocratic friend of the Royal Family. It’s soon revealed that they’re
both jewel thieves who are working alone to rob the priceless necklace
called the Star of Asia that belongs to the Duchess of Beltravers (Jessie
Ralph). Anya befriends the dutchess over dinner at the hotel and steals
the necklace after getting her tipsy and dismissing the servants. Gerald
replaces the real pendant with a phony while the dutchess is sleeping it
off, and then lifts the real one from Anya without arresting her. When
Anya realizes that he’s a rival jewel thief and confronts him as he’s riding
to the airport, the two are forced to flee together as Inspector Cressney
is wise to the switch and is on their trail. They steal away in the ocean
on a rowboat and are given a lift on a tramp steamer bound for Hong Kong
by the greedy, money-hungry and unreliable Captain Chang (Peter Lorre).
He betrays them to the British police for the reward, but the clever twosome,
now a romantic duo, jump ship and head for Hong Kong. Gerald dresses like
a British soldier in one episode in a scheme to get money for a passage
to a safer country, but after the scheme works is forced to continue the
charade when ordered by a colonel to help evacuate British and Chinese
citizens from a village invaded by the Japanese. Things get ludicrous,
as Gerald gets overcome with nobility and becomes a hero by taking out
a number of Japanese machine gunners who ambush his evacuation; for that
he receives the Victoria Cross when he recovers in an army hospital from
his wounds. The film loses its snappy dialogue and vinegar when the couple
show signs of a willingness to reform and Gerald, when he realizes the
jig is up, surrenders to the authorities and returns the stolen merchandise.
We’re led to believe that Anya will be waiting for him after he gets out
of the slammer and the Brit army will let him enlist.
