Title: Barely a two
Review: What a mess of a film. For the first hour or so we learn that that the painter was an amoral scoundrel, leaving his family and others because he wants to be alone and paint. Then he's in France, breaking up another man's family. And finally, he's in Tahiti, where the picture turns brown, and then, briefly, technicolor--our only real look at anything the painter produced. After marrying a native woman and becoming a father, the painter dies and a sign warns us of the evil of his ways. The End.The script is long and tedious, the photography is at times clumsy, the sets are cheapo, and the acting is so-so. One feels sorry for George Sanders, who was making the B "Falcon" series during the same year. He simply had to appear unconcerned and wooden. Herbert Marshall, who narrates the film, is adequate, but he spends his time onscreen gasping about the immorality of the painter. Does anyone truly care? This is entertainment?
