James Dunn stars in The Caribbean Mystery playing a private detective from
Brooklyn on a case. in the island tropics. Several folks have come down to this
island paradise have disappeared usually after going in to a nasty samp.
Given the date I thought this might have something to do with the war. But it is only treasure hunters who are making sure no one gets the pirate loot they've uncovered..
The mystery here is who is the inside man they have in the territorial governor's office. But it's revealed soon enough before the climax.
Dunn who was off the Oscar he won for A Tree Grows In Brooklyn didn't get a real good comeback bounce from the Oscar. He was in mostly routine action films like this. At Fox he was doing leads in the early 30s and co-starred with Shirley Temple in some films.
Not a bad film from 20th Century Fox's B picture unit, but strictly routine.
