KONGO (1932) B/W 85m dir: William Cowen

w/Walter Huston, Virginia Bruce, Lupe Velez, Conrad Nagel

Dark, bizarre melodrama with a powerful performance by Huston as the maddened ruler of a remote African outpost seeking revenge on his enemy by kidnapping his daughter (Bruce). Huston lifts it completely out of ordinary with the depth of his performance. A remake of the "silent" WEST OF ZANZIBAR with Lon Chaney in the Huston role.
