Georgi has attempted suicide in reaction to an earlier love affair. Now that Dr. Decker has married her he sets out to get her to love him.

Though his people, the Israelites, are enslaved by the Philistines, Samson, strongest man of the tribe of Dan, falls in love with the Philistine Semadar, whom he wins by virtue of a contest of strength. But Semadar betrays him, and Samson engages in a fight with her real love, Ahtur, and his soldiers. Semadar is killed, and her sister Delilah, who had loved Samson in silence, now vows vengeance against him. She plans to seduce Samson into revealing the secret of his strength and then to betray him to the Philistine leader, the Saran. Victor MAture and Hedy Lamarr make this film exciting to watch!
Pepe Le Moko, a thief who escaped from France with a fortune in jewels, has for two years lived in, and virtually ruled, the mazelike, impenetrable Casbah, "native quarter" of Algiers. A French official insists that he be captured, but sly Inspector Slimane knows he need only bide his time. The suave Pepe increasingly regards his stronghold as also his prison, especially when he meets beautiful Parisian visitor Gaby, who reminds him of the boulevards to which he dare not return...and arouses the mad jealousy of Ines, his Algerian mistress. Algiers is a real Hollywood classic like they don't make anymore. Beautiful Hedy Lamarr makes her American film debut and Charles Boyer sizzles in the lead role.
Lady of the Tropics is Hedy Lamarr's second Hollywood film from 1939. If you are a fan of Classic Hollywood or Hedy Lamarr this film will please you. She stars along side Leading Man Robert Taylor. Lamarr plays Manon deVargnes, a so-called half-caste whose father was French, whose mother was native, and whose dream of living in Paris as a Frenchwoman is doomed to failure by racism. Taylor is an American playboy, traveling on the yacht of his girlfriend's rich family. Of course they eventually get together after lots of drama and problems. Not the best film ever made but not as bad as many reviews make it out to be.
