A particularly sweaty take on the familiar "native temptress in the jungle" tale, White Cargo (1942) marked a successful attempt at image transformation for international film star Hedy Lamarr as Tondelayo, the half-Egyptian, sarong-clad femme fatale with broken English who spells doom for her white male co-stars.
Along with an indelible female at its center, White Cargo boasts a fearless troupe of male supporting players familiar to many movie buffs. A busy character actor since the silent era, Walter Pidgeon anchors the film as the man in charge with a possible secret lust in his heart; though already familiar for his previous role in
How Green Was My Valley
(1941), his most famous work was yet to come as Dr. Morbius in
Forbidden Planet
(1956) and Florenz Ziegfeld in
Funny Girl
(1968). Reliable sci-fi actor Richard Carlson, who had appeared in the previous year's
The Little Foxes
(1941), became a familiar face on television and earned a soft spot in the hearts of baby boomers everywhere as the stalwart lead in
Creature from the Black Lagoon
(1954) and
It Came from Outer Space
(1953). As the plantation's resident physician, Frank Morgan will forever be remembered for the title role in 1939's
The Wizard of Oz
, as well as his classic turns in
The Shop Around the Corner
(1940) and his previous collaboration with Lamarr in
Boom Town
.
