China Seas (1935)

Based on the novel by Crosbie Garstin.

A ship going from Hong Kong to Singapore has pirates on it. The captain is harassed by a vulgar singer and is in love with a refined socialite.

The plot is uninspired. The storm sequences are impressive. Robert Benchley is the comic relief playing a drunkard.

Rating: 45
