Strange Cargo (1940 film)
''Strange Cargo'' (1940) is a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer feature film directed by Frank Borzage and starring Joan Crawford and Clark Gable in a story about a group of fugitive prisoners from a French penal colony. The screenplay by Lawrence Hazard was based upon the 1936 novel, ''Not Too Narrow, Not Too Deep'', by Richard Sale. The film was produced by Joseph L. Mankiewicz and was the eighth and last film pairing of Crawford and Gable. The supporting cast includes Peter Lorre.
==Synopsis==
Julie (Crawford), a cafe entertainer in a town near a French penal colony, meets Verne (Gable), a prisoner on wharf duty. Verne escapes and goes to Julie's room but is apprehended after Mi'sieu Pig (Peter Lorre) reports him, and is returned to prison. Julie is fired for consorting with a prisoner. At the prison, Moll (Albert Dekker) has masterminded a jailbreak and takes Cambreau (Ian Hunter), Telez (Eduardo Ciannelli), Hessler (Paul Lukas), Flaubert (J. Edward Bromberg), Dufond (John Arledge) with him.
Verne joins the escapees, taking Julie with him. The gentle Cambreau (a Christ figure) exerts a spiritual influence over the others, often reading from and quoting the Bible. As they trek through the jungle, most die with only Verne, Julie, Hessler, and Cambreau surviving the ordeal (Hessler--a Judas figure--disdains Cambreau's salvation and is last seen slinking off into the night, knowing as a gale arises that there is no turning back.) Verne initially scoffs at Cambreau's spirituality, but saves him from drowning (as Cambreau clings to driftwood---again, as a Christ figure on Calvary's cross) and penitently decides to return to the prison to finish his sentence. Julie has grown to love Verne and promises to wait for him.
Though both the original novel and the film's screenplay are allegorical with many Christian elements, they present an ultimately humanist philosophy (rather than evangelical Christian theology) as the story's central message.
