Kongo plot

"In the heart of the Kongo!"

From his wheelchair, a disabled white man rules an area in Africa like a living god. He, "Deadlegs", rules the natives through suspicion and magic and he rules over a small number of white people through sadism, effectively holding them captive. He constantly looks forward to the day when he can take gruesome revenge on the man who stole his wife and damaged his spine.

Insane melodrama from just before the Hayes Code. Walter Huston plays an ivory trader (Flint Rudlege and NOT Walter E. Kurtz!) who, despite the fact that he is half paralyzed, has managed to work his way up to become the chieftain of a group of natives in the jungle of Congo. Driven to the brink of madness because his wife allegedly had an illegitimate daughter with his arch-enemy Gregg Whitehall [C. Henry Gordon], he decides to subject that daughter [Virginia Bruce] to all kinds of psychological torture.

Although the natives are portrayed quite stereotypically, it fits the exotic-mysterious, ominous setting of the story. The sometimes downright grotesque, theatrical performances of Huston and Bruce increase the entertainment in a display of bad taste of the better kind.

Fairly silly jungle film, not only because of the strange story but especially because of it

frenetic play by Walter Huston whose character, obsessed with resentment and resentment,

regularly makes you suspect that he no longer has them in a row. Almost the entire film plays

in and around Huston's swim hardly experience it as a limitation because there

enough happens and not much normal and there is also a chimpanzee with in a certain

scene with apparent instructions. Nice movie, although that may not be the intention

been.
