Across To Singapore

Mutinies, men in irons, star-crossed lovers and daring action at sea combine in an adventure based on Ben Ames Williams thrice-filmed book All the Brothers Were Valiant (the 1953 version starred Robert Taylor). Ramon Novarro portrays the youngest in a seafaring family, in love with the girl (Joan Crawford) promised to his swaggering oldest brother. The rival brothers set sail to Singaporeand into a storm of emotional and physical danger. Across to Singapore showcases Novarro (1925s Ben-Hur) at the height of his career and Crawford at the turning point of hers: Our Dancing Daughters, released later in 1928, made her a star.
