Absolutely the worst movie.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Eleanor Hunt (Bobbie Reynolds), Conrad Nagel (Alan O'Connor), Claudia Dell (Fay Temple), Frank LaRue (Perrelli), Vince Barnett (Bulb Callahan), Crane Wilbur (director), Harry Strang, John Ivans, V. Carroll. Director/screenplay: CRANE WILBUR. Photography: Mack Stengler. Film editor: Tony Martinelli. Art director: F. Paul Sylos. Music director: Abe Meyer. Assistant director: Bobby Ray. Producer: George Hirliman.A Grand National picture. Released: 8 November 1936. 63 minutes. COMMENT: This first of four Eleanor Hunt (Bobbie Reynolds)/Conrad Nagel/Alan O'Connor) "B" thrillers is probably the best of a poor lot, thanks to its Poverty Row film-making background plot and the charismatic presence of writer/director Crane Wilbur as the movie- within-the movie's crooked director. It's sad to see the super- lovely Ziegfeld chorine-turned-movie-star Eleanor Hunt being out- shone by Jack LaRue and Claudia Dell, but that's the film biz! I've just taken a look at IMDb's photo gallery of Eleanor Hunt and it's interesting to see that in at least half of them, Eleanor does not take a good photo at all, whereas Claudia Dell always looks great in just about every picture in her photo gallery. Eleanor is obviously not at ease, posing in front of a still camera, but comes to life when she is actually acting in the movie!

The first of a series of four "G-Man" films produced by George A. Hirliman's Condor Productions (with all four starring Conrad Nagel and Hirliman's wife, actress Eleanor Hunt, in continuing roles), "Yellow Cargo" has G-Man (nee FBI) Alan O'Connor (Conrad Nagel) being "borrowed" by the United States Immigration Service to track down a smuggling ring on the West Coast, which is engaged in bringing in Orientals to the U.S. in violation of the Chinese Exclusion Act. O'Connor is met at the airport by reporter Bobbie Reynolds (Eleanor Hunt), who mistakes him for a New York actor in search of a movie job in Hollywood. O'Connor falls in with her plan to introduce him to some producers, so he can get a line on the leaders of the smuggling ring, who are operating under the guise of an independent motion picture company. Vince Barnett is on hand for comedy relief as "Bulbs" Callahan ('Vince Barnett' ), a bone-head news photographer.Be prepared for a low budget film, but it moves fast and is watchable if you like movies from the 30's.

This public domain movie is also known as SINFUL CARGO and when I saw that title, I was expecting a salacious little exploitation film. Instead, it was a cheap little film that was dull and probably not worth anyone's time.Conrad Nagel and Eleanor Hunt star in this dud. He is a federal agent investigation the smuggling of illegal Chinese aliens into the country and she is an annoying reporter with a secret. She is assisted by the world's stupidest and most annoying camera man, played by Vince Barnett. Barnett was obviously included as comic relief, but he was neither funny nor a relief when he entered a scene--just a one-joke irritant. In the end, there is a final confrontation with the gang boss that is among the dullest and most anticlimactic in film history. Then, in a "clever" twist, we learn the female reporter's secret and the camera, thankfully, fades.The film has bad writing, acting and direction. It practically screams "SLOPPY" throughout. For a similar plot though done competently, try seeing Ronald Reagan in SECRET SERVICE OF THE AIR--a B-film actually worth your time. Don't say I didn't warn you.

This movie is showing on one of the channels that I have on direct tv. So far, the movie seems pretty dull and cheesy. The one thing that I do like about it is that it's from the 30s, and the acting and costumes are pretty nice.
