A still from South Sea Sinner (1950)

Frank Lovejoy, Shelley Winters in a still from South Sea Sinner (1950)

A tramp steamer lands sick crewman Jake Davis on rubber-growing island Oraka, from which voluptuous, bedroom-eyed saloon singer Coral is about to be ejected because “men like her too much.” But Coral’s slimy boss Cognac gets her a reprieve so she can learn Jake’s secret. In the process, Coral gets a bit too fond of Jake, who–suspected of wartime collaboration–resolves on new efforts to clear himself; but more complications arise.
