Geva
Directed by Ralph Murphy
Print: black/white
Runtime: 69 min.
Genre: adventure
Print Quality: B
An adequate wartime filler, Night Plane from Chungking features Robert
Preston as the captain of the titular aircraft. En route from Chungking to
India, the plane crashes, leaving captain and passengers stranded in a
jungle surrounded by Japanese troops. It has been learned that one of
the passengers is a Nazi spy; Preston hopes it isn't the lovely Ellen Drew.
Night Plane from Chungking was a remake of the earlier, and more
expensive, Marlene Dietrich adventure Shanghai Express, substituting
planes for trains. When movie villains shifted from Nazis to Communists
in the 1950s, the story was filmed once more as Peking Express (53).
