OUTCAST OF THE ISLANDS (1951) - ♦♦♦♦

Directed by - Carol Reed

Written by - William Fairchild (based on a novel by Joseph Conrad)

Starring - Ralph Richardson, Trevor Howard, Robert Morley, Wendy Hiller, George Coulouris, Kerima

"After being involved in a swindle, the captain of a trading vessel takes him to his island outpost. There, however, he betrays his friend by falling in love with the daughter of the tribal chief. Carol Reed’s uneasy follow up to the masterpiece The Third Man is still a strong portrait of betrayal and evil, a melodrama with elements of suspense and thriller. Though it suffers from dead moments, it benefits from the strong performances by Howard and Richardson."
