Very cool, Karl! You always find such great, rare Flynnicana. Thanks so much for sharing it!
The Duke was in this movie, too. Several years earlier, in 1925, he starred in another rescue, one at Newport Beach totally unconnected to the Joseph Conrad novel. I suspect he was included in this film because of his legendary rescue of ’25:

Thanks to Karl for showing Lili Damita at the peak of her beauty. Does anyone have a photo of Lili in her last years? Ralph Schiller
