Joan Bennett In “Trade Winds”
Night, the air laden with the chill of death: a girl, wanted for murder 1 ,; sits nervously in her roadster on the front end of a San Francisco ferry; a police car is driven onto the boat, and two officers alight to peer into every car; without a moment’s hesitation, the girl drives crazily into the water—and the darkness; the swirling fog silently covers the splash.
This is, one of the first thrilling scenes in “Trade Winds,” Walter Wanger’s adventure romance, with Fredric March and Joan Bennett in the starring roles. The girl who seizes this daring chance to escape is Miss Bennett herself. A few days later the San Francisco police are notified that she has pawned a ring in Honolulu.
Thus begins a chase that extends half way around ■ the world, with March, debonair private detective with an inordinate fondness for beautiful girls, in close pursuit of the fugitive. Another exciting romance is contributed by Ralph Bellamy and AnnSet hern. who also, do their sleuthing on the run.
“Trade Winds” was directed by Tay Garnett and is released by United Artists.
