Movie Reviewed: Hell Harbor (1930)
A drama starring Lupe Velez
If you are a fan of Lupe Velez, you know that she is best at comedies. This movie is not as good as her Mexican Spitfire movie series where she performs beautifully. There is a lot of yelling and shouting’s in this drama in which her abusive father promises him to marry his only daughter to a much older merchant, played by Jean Hersholt, to pay off his debt. But Anita dreams of escaping the loneliness of her island home and go to Havana. During her struggles with her father, she meets an American and falls in love with him.
The movie is slow moving and boring; the dialogue and sound is awful and Velez’s performance is a little overdone.
