Steve Singleton, an American, has sunk all his savings in a small schooner which he sails in the Pacific waters off New Guinea. He calls at a small trading post and is befriended by an unscrupulous rogue, Jumbo Johnson, who finances him on a pearl-fishing voyage. But Jumbo double-crosses Steve and through a legality acquires his boat and forces Steve to take part in hi-jacking a shipment of gold.
The film was based on the novel New Guinea Gold by Thomson Burtis and it was filmed against colourful Pacific backgrounds: pearl fishing, treasure hunting, and all the colourful characters and scenes which abound in those waters.

Guillaume Apollinaire
The French poet who died fifty years ago today is honoured in London this week by an exhibition and a play about his life.
This Release film reflects his gifts as a poet and the feverish excitement of the artistic world of Paris in the first years of the twentieth century.

'The Hero Rises Up'
John Arden and his wife Margaretta D'Arcy talk about their experimental production at The Roundhouse, Chalk Farm, London, of their latest play, which Arden describes as '..a melodrama in two acts, handling the glorious victories, the political indiscretion, and the ascent into our National Pantheon of the late Viscount Nelson. It also touches, with a passionate delicacy, his scandalous and sensational intercourse with Emma Lady Hamilton'.

Ella Garth, an elderly woman, almost succeeds in obstructing the whole Tennessee Valley project, part of the Roosevelt New Deal aimed to tame America's most lethal river and harness it to provide electric power for the surrounding countryside.
This film, unjustifiably neglected in the past, was directed by Elia Kazan, co-founder of the Actor's Studio, who believes in shooting his films on the location where the events actually happened: Wild River was filmed at Cleveland in Tennessee.
