Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBoth after the opening and before the ending credits, the following quotation of Marcus Aurelius Antoninus - (121-180), Meditations. iii. 10 - is depicted on-screen: "Short, therefore, is man's life; and narrow is the corner of the earth wherein he dwells."
- GoofsThe harbor shows a large ship. The entrance to the harbor is barely wide enough for the small sailing ship to go through.
- Quotes
Fred Blake: I want life to be fair. I want life to be brave and honest. I'm not willing to stand by while the good are punished and the wicked go scott free. I want all men to be descent. Surely, that's not asking too much.
Doctor Saunders: I don't know. It's asking more than life can give. Remember the words of Disraeli, Youth is a blunder, Maturity is struggle, and Old Age are a grit.

Featured review
Meh....I could see how this film didn't do much to further Junior's career.
According to Turner Classic Movies, following "The Narrow Corner" Warner Brothers dropped Douglas Fairbanks Junior's contract. While he isn't bad in the film, I could understand why. While not a bad film, it is very undistinguished and a bit bland despite its tropical locale.
When the film begins, three rogues are fleeing Australia. You really aren't sure why but the three have various dark secrets and they long for some tropical isle where they can forget their pasts. Fred (Fairbanks) is young and handsome and you wonder why he's with the doctor and sleazy captain of their boat.
The three and their tiny crew arrive at some Dutch-controlled island in the Pacific. There, surprisingly, they find some folks who speak beautiful English--including the cute and very friendly Louise (Patricia Ellis). But Fred is torn...he has fallen hard for Louise but a real nice guy, Eric (Ralph Bellamy) is already in love with her and Fred isn't the type to hurt a friend.
The tropical location was Catalina Island and despite looking warm and lush, apparently it was rather cold...and the ending must have left Fairbanks and Ellis soaking wet and freezing. Overall, not a bad film but one with many lulls and not enough to recommend you rush to see it....more a time-passer than anything else.
