Here is a story that is as old as time...it is the summer time and the people from the big city have made their way to the outlying villages and beaches. One attractive young lady has caught the eye of a local villager. He is married and has a young child but is willing to give all of that up so that he can have a relationship with the her. They plan to have the husband take his wife out on a boat and make her murder look like an accident.
The day comes for him to do the evil act, and when he gets to the predetermined spot to kill his wife, he just continues sailing on towards the big city. While he and his wife are int eh big city for the day they rekindle the spark in their relationship, and he forgets his girlfriend. On the way back home that night a storm comes up and they are both tossed overboard; he swims towards land and hails the villagers to help him search for his wife. Eventually they find her and everyone lives happily ever after, with the girlfriend leaving back to the city never to show her face in that village again.
This movie was on AFIs top 100 movies 10th anniversary list, and I cannot figure out why. Unless, they were going for some of the split screen shots, and blue screen technology that was being used in 1927. Only 2 stars for me.
