China Seas (1935) is a comedy adventure starring Clark Gable, Jean Harlow, and Wallace Berry. Gable stars as the captain of a ship headed to Singapore from Hong Kong. Harlow is his recent girlfriend who he throws over for the arrival of a recently widowed former love. Harlow teams up with Berry to try and steal the gold in the ships cargo with a band of Malay pirates. Everything comes out in the wash at the end-entertaining. One part was somewhat disturbing-the was a ships mate who was derided for only being able to save one "white life" from his last expedition-suggesting that those were the only lives that mattered.
