a film thought lose turn up a few month ago on tcm and i finally do get to see it . stingaree be one curious and horribly miscast film which not even the presence of favorite of mine like henry stephenson and mary boland can save . set in australia in the 1870s and specifically in victoria we do not see as much a one kangaroo in stingaree . the presence of a lot of sheep be herd be suppose to make u think be in australia . when i finally saw the sundowner which be actually film in australia and i certainly saw the weakness of thing like stingaree make on the rko back lot . but no americans company be location shoot that far in 1934 so i can be charitable there . but stolid richard dix be cast in a role that someone like errol flynn might have make believable . or douglas fairbanks and jr. and or tyrone power or louis hayward anyone with that swashbuckling élan . dix just look silly up there spout those romantic nothing . irene dunne be the lonely ward of henry stephenson and mary boland who accompany boland because boland fancy she can sing . and she go to sing come hell or high water for visit british composer geoffrey tearle . dunne be tell not to emote as much a low a from her range when tearle around . but when she mistake the notorious bandit stingaree for the composer and theyre take with each other . he kidnap dunne and later force a gunpoint addition for the real composer and it cost him his freedom . the rest of the film be too unbelievable to describe you have to see it to confirm and but not to be entertain . even mary boland who usually can save anything with her flighty portrayal doesn not go over well . it not in her character to throw dunne out of the house because she be upstaged . boland be irresponsible and flighty and but never a mean person on the screen . a lot of forgettable song be include here and the whole film be best forgotten . good thing none of the cast be still around to be embarrass .
