Sinners in Paradise 1938 (Drama, Romance) Madge Evans, John Boles, Bruce Cabot

A seaplane departs for China.
On board are a nurse escaping a loveless marriage to do work with refugees, a woman hoping to surprise her estranged son, a wealthy heiress trying to distance herself from labor troubles, an oily politician, a moll and a mobster fleeing the wrath of the gangs they've double-crossed, two rival munitions salesmen out to cash in on the misery of war, and a fresh-faced young steward. Are caught in a course-altering storm, a crash-landing destroys the plane, kills the plane's officers, and tosses the surviving passengers into the sea. They are washed ashore on an isolated island inhabited solely by mysteriously reclusive Mr. Taylor and his servant, Ping. Until Taylor decides if, how and when he will allow them to take his boat back to China for help, this disparate band must work together, change their self-centered ways, and examine their motives for wanting to escape from the island and their pasts.

Gilligan's Island before Gilligan's Island🏖🏝

[@peterpadazopoulos2954]

Haha had the same thought

[@richardwarner3705]

I was thinking the samething.👍🌴🐚

[@GohAhweh]

🍍

[@marcbahn5487]

Same type humor all right.

[@HeIsNakedLunch]

Me too! 26 years before Gilligan’s…

[@carmenfoote7999]

Haven't seen this before and it wasn't too bad. Did remind me of Gilligan's Island though. Well worth watching again. Thanks for posting it. Joe S

[@brucebezold2714]

The beginning credits showing the Island looks the same.

[@user-xy2bc9ms2c]

I always enjoy rewatching this one, some of these old movies are just great entertainment..even after all of these years! Thanks for downloading this one for us!

[@pinstripedynasty6117]

Underrated film by the great James Whale

[@zanti209]

Realtively short adventure / romance flick. Lots of action, character studies and very good acting. the director did a whale of a job. Mucho entertaining. Some say it went by too fast. I could have stood another half hour easy. TY CCC. Great chat gang. 3.5 ⭐s. 🤩

[@dontaylor7315]

I think this is one of the films they limited to around an hour so the drive-ins could run double features (both features were distributed as a package).

[@oliviasimonich2386]

Forget logic and just enjoy the movie! Amazing storm graphics BTW, esp for 1938.

[@PAPITO_49]

A good old fashioned south seas movie.

[@miker252]

I bet Pan American Airways loved this movie.

[@nicoletanis3703]

Nice movie, thanks CCC!

[@johnrudy9404]

Was waiting for it to turn into The Most Dangerous Game.

[@kansasross]

Ha-ha! Beauiful!

[@daveallen63]

It was a good watch, not much of a story really but entertaining.

[@frankfowlkes7872]

Interesting how as the plane is taking off people are still walking around in the cabin.

[@lesawilkes5673]

Entertainment, plain ole black and white fun. The sea plane was as big as a luxury train on the inside, must have had a nice bathtub, they all changed for dinner!

[@glenbirbeck4098]

At 11:40 the navagator gives an erronious position. He says west instead of east. The position he radio'd was between Hawaii and the US mainland...not 700 miles north of Guam. Someone who knew a little bit wrote or edited the script, very plausable. Still, the searchers would know the clipper had flown west from Hawaii and the position must have switched east and west. Eight years after the movie was made hundreds of B29 bombers would pass this point, half way to their bombing mission over Tokyo. These movies are more interesting if you know the history, the context.

[@xw9476tw]

>If you can't wait you could always watch the upload from 2021

[@lonasimpresasmonterrey7599]

The only thing missing from the plane was Tom Hank and Wilson.

[@resetthis9838]

A lot of Sinners movies back then... I take it sinners was like a 30's code term for people who liked to live it up and generally have a good time.

[@monicashababy5487]

Big fan of John Boles!

[@NancySanders-om4ic]

A very young Milburn Stone telephoning.

[@annimerethenilsen8888]

Halleluja!? looking a late night when i was missing my husband.sweet as honey and good moral.old mama.🤔😥🤭🤗

[@user-du5xc6zj6b]

What a great movie it's a clean one lol! 😮😊❤😂

[@TheHighlanderX]

Thank you 🙏🏻🍿🥤

[@leostgeorge2080]

I just found out there is a color version of this movie. Everything is better in color. Wasn't to thrilled about the ending. Fell flat in my book.

[@prieten49]

Aha! Gilligan's Island! Oh, someone already said that.

[@davidparris7167]

Is that Doc from Gunsmoke?

[@elliebellie7816]

Why, yes. Yes it is!

[@oliviasimonich2386]

Didn't recognize him. Thnx for pointing him out.

[@marcbahn5487]

I know, I know, this was the comedic version of the original script for 'Five Came Back', right? 2:06 Dwight Frye

[@NancySanders-om4ic]

Yes,I thought that was Dwight Frey.

[@SeattlePioneer]

At 11:43, their "approximate position is "N 22, W 143." That position is about 300 miles due EAST of Honolulu. So what are they doing, flying in circles or back to the mainland?

[@learningone7786]

That was pretty good but I was hoping they would get back.

[@dancingtrout6719]

thanks..

[@Nitedawg1]

“ i think we are going into a storm”. The weather started getting rough, the tiny plane was tossed.

[@laerciofarias1271]

Clássico 🎥obg 👏🌹

Servo: Stately Wayne Manor.😅

[@md9680]

Not exactly "Adventures in Paradise" but, hey, who cares? Thanks for posting it.

[@monivelazquez5234]

Por favor si fuera posible subir la película The Rain, de la novela de Somerset Maugham, con el gran actor José Ferrer

[@Number6_]

They just bust in on this man throwing coconuts and demanding resources off this man like a bunch of pirates.

[@testingtesting4534]

The Plane, The Plane!

[@Nitedawg1]

I kept waiting for a polar bear to show up, followed by a smoke monster.

B.noches Srs. C.C.C la peli se ve que es bonita , pero hay un pequeño detalle no se inglés no entiendo 😢😢😢 que pena 😏😏😏😏

[@edwardroche2480]

This is a great movie I would love to have a set up like that on an island. I wouldn't leave either. I live on a boat and I'm surrounded by Islands but boat people not welcome to set foot on land, unless they find a place to come ashore and have written permission from a landowner. We have to sneak around to get to shore, and be haunted by police and millionaires. I got mine and not in my backyard kind of people. I worked my ass off on this Island Building swimming pools and homes and putting up fences for a bunch of ungrateful millionaire scum. And they all wish they could live like me, but they just can't get used to the hard work that it is. Living on a boat is anything but free.

[@daxtonbrown]

Luxurious airplane, no seatbelts.

[@biketech60]

And a huge lavatory !

[@russellwarr3791]

In the first couple of minutes I made three observations,1 Everyone is on speed ( fast talking),2 Hats are in and 3, Majority of actors are dead. If the WW2 didn't get them, old age would have.

[@cenaculum1]

with Gilligan... the Skipper too... the millionaire and his wife...

[@SeattlePioneer]

Heh, heh! Best "Gilligan's Island" comment!

[@dancingtrout6719]

the professor an marianne

[@Nitedawg1]

This has some similarities to the movie stage coach, or I should say stage coach was similar to this since it came out a year later.

[@ParanoidGoblinoid]

Is this the one with the dogs in giant shrew costumes? No? Okay, I’m in. [ducks]

[@miapdx503]

😂😂😂 that film is hilarious! I've seen it a few times. 🌹

[@glenbirbeck4098]

This movie is almost pre code in places.

[@patrickryan1515]

Genres listed should include comedy.

[@Number6_]

That servant laughts to much, but the owner is right. These entitled jerks need to do some work for once. America is full of these types of crooks even in 1938. No doubt going back to the beginning.

[@yasminalidisgutierrezsopli1571]

No podrían poner en Latino Español como para nosotros. 🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@nedludd7622]

Que quieres? Hay la pelicula.

[@charletonzimmerman4205]

LOST- 1938 .

[@MichaelYoder1961]

Stilted and full of stereotypes, but pretty good

[@SeattlePioneer]

Whadaya mean? It's LOADED with "Strong Independent "Women, isn't it?

[@testingtesting4534]

The plane floats, why jump out of it?

[@carefulconsumer8682]

Almost as good as Gilligan's Island.

[@JosephKKomba]

It's Gilligan's Island revisited with a twist

[@rickk.20]

Forgetting this is twenty five years earlier.

[@kodebruijn4753]

no need for seatbelts!

[@Mindswamp]

What a group of uninteresting boring passengers.

[@Number6_]

A whale of a story even has milburn stone as doc.

[@JoseDominguez-ru3mw]

The Creator God of the Judeo-Christian universe exists and has a name, His Name is above all names, His Name is Jesus of Nazareth. my book of deaths twice Because I had a dangerous illness in my intestines and unlike Joram, the Lord had compassion on me and did not let me die in that tortuous, painful and humiliating illness. His mercy is more beautiful than beauty and through his mercy I breathe and live. It has also freed me from other illnesses such as mental, existential and spiritual as well. He who humiliates himself does not despise

[@paulrelgne2149]

There is either Judeo or Christian, but not Judeo-Christian. You can't serve two Masters. Thank God the Father for your healing and Jesus is Lord!

[@e.s.l.1083]

Okay... I am intrigued (interesting math 🧮
