Condemned! (1929)

 Early talkie. Ronald Coleman (Clark Gable before Clark Gable) is a suave thief sentenced to the South American French penal colony at Devils Island (in operation 1852 -1952). The stupid warden (Dudley Diggs) decides to make Coleman his house servant, which means he'll be spending alot of time around the wardens much younger wife Ann Harding. This doesn't end well for the stupid warden, and he has only himself to blame. Much as I have only myself to blame for watching 'Condemned', as I already knew that 1920's talkies are seldom good. **
