Wissenswertes
When Josie first meets Jim in the bar, she asks him for money to pay for his drinks and he pulls something out of his pocket and puts it on the table. Josie picks it up and it's a miniature (lapel) version of the Victoria Cross - the UK's highest military award. Its equivalent in the U.S. would be the Medal of Honor.

Patzer
Although set in the tropical marine climate of Fiji, when Josie is making her way to MacDougal's bar in the rain, the condensation of her breath is visible when she speaks. Filming of this picture took place in the late fall and early winter of 1929.

Zitate
Title Card: Not all the casualties of war are in the hospital cots. There are wounds of the spirit as lasting as those of the flesh, but less pitied, and little understood. Few know the dark fears brought back from the battlefront.

Alternative Versionen
RKO released a silent version for theaters that had not yet installed expensive sound equipment.

Melodrama with bad dialogue but themes ahead of its time

It would be so easy to overlook this movie: the dialogue is so awful, especially for Josie - her lines in particular are cringeworthy. And the actress playing Josie is cringeworthy as well. But if you can look past that, you will see a sincere look at the PTSD faced by soldiers and alcoholism, and a blunt, unvarnished, blunt presentation of racism - is this the first mention of "white supremacy" in a movie? And there are characters looking down on someone as low class for their racist views - when have you ever seen that in a movie before the 1950s? Thankfully, it's short, because I'm not sure I could stand the bad dialogue longer than that.
