Red Dust

“She fought for her mate with a tigress' fury…”

Why does a woman like Vantine Jefferson (Jean Harlow) turn up on a rubber plantation in Cochinchina, having left Saigon one step ahead of the police? Dennis Carson (Clark Gable), who runs the place, takes her in, until his new surveyor arrives with a wife, Barbara Willis (Mary Astor), whose refinement draws him at once. Victor Fleming sets the film on how much a man wants what does not belong to him.
