Mary Astor and Clark Gable in Red Dust (Victor Fleming, 1932)

Cast: Clark Gable, Jean Harlow, Gene Raymond, Mary Astor, Donald Crisp, Tully Marshall, Forrester Harvey, Willie Fung. Screenplay: John Lee Mahin, based on a play by Wilson Collison. Cinematography: Harold Rosson. Art direction: Cedric Gibbons. Film editing: Blanche Sewell. Costume design: Adrian.

Victor Fleming is the credited director on two of the most beloved films in Hollywood history: Gone With the Wind (1939) and The Wizard of Oz (1939). I say "credited director" because many other directorial hands were involved in both movies. Gone With the Wind is mostly the product of its obsessive, micromanaging producer, David O. Selznick, who fired the original director George Cukor, some of whose scenes remain in the movie, along with others directed by Sam Wood and King Vidor. The Wizard of Oz, too, was primarily the work of its producers, Mervyn LeRoy and Arthur Freed; once again a director, Richard Thorpe, was fired from the film before Fleming was brought on, LeRoy directed some of the scenes, as did Cukor and Norman Taurog, and the Kansas scenes were directed by Vidor after Fleming went to work on GWTW.  So was Fleming more than just a replacement director or a fixer of movies gone astray? The best evidence that Fleming was a good director on his own is Red Dust, a funny, sexy adventure romance that established Clark Gable as a top box-office draw. Fleming demonstrates a sure hand with the material, keeping it from bogging down in melodramatic mush in the scenes between Gable and Mary Astor. The action is set in Hollywood's idea of a rubber plantation in French Indochina -- what Vietnam was called back when Americans were pronouncing Saigon as "SAY-gone," if the movie is to be trusted. Dennis Carson (Gable) manages the plantation when he is not being distracted by the arrival first of Vantine (Jean Harlow), a shady lady, and then of Barbara Willis (Astor) and her husband, Gary (Gene Raymond), an engineer who has been sent to survey an expansion of the plantation. Carson and Vantine have been spending several weeks of unwedded bliss before the Willises arrive, but pretty soon he is making a play for Mrs. Willis, using the old trick of sending the husband off to survey the swamps while she remains behind. All of this is handled with delicious innuendo, possible only because the Production Code had not yet gone into effect: for example, the scene in which Vantine rinses off in a rain barrel while Carson looks on (and in), or the fact that Carson and Mrs. Willis's adultery goes unpunished except for a flesh wound. Both Harlow and Astor sashay around in improbable barely-there finery by Adrian. Fleming went on to make another pre-Code delight with Harlow, the screwball comedy Bombshell (1933), which contains an allusion to the Hays Office's concerns about Red Dust. John Lee Mahin was screenwriter on both films, though some of the better lines in Red Dust were contributed by the uncredited Donald Ogden Stewart. The movie is marred only for today's viewers by some period racism: the colonialist attitude toward the native laborers as "lazy" and the giggling Chinese houseboy played by Willie Fung.

The back of this publicity still reads From: Universal Studios Universal City, Calif. Richard Rosson is rated as the movies’ greatest action director. He is the man the Hollywood studios sent abroad to photograph the action backgrounds for the adventure and thrill films. Movie fans have seen background scenes of his in “Flight Command,” in “Viva Villa,” in Clark Gable’s “Too Hot to Handle" and in "Eskimo,"

for which Rosson made scenes in Siberia and Arctic Circle regions. In the midst of shooting scenes for “Florian” in pre-war Germany he was arrested, along with Mrs Rosson, and put in a concentration camp where he suffered brutal treatment. He is the on-the-scene man of the movies, the man who can say “I was there” when he sees the most remote outposts in the world flash upon the screen. Latest of these Rosson adventures was aboard “the bucking broncos of the Atlantic,” the Canadian corvettes which are hunting down Nazi submarines. Herewith is a picture story of Rosson in travels up to and including scenes showing his corvettes adventure which will provide background for Universal Studios’ “Corvettes in Action.” The film will introduce “the corvette girl” Ella Raines, co-starred with Randolph Scott.

Howard Hawks, holding the model corvette, is not mentioned in the caption, and neither is the man in uniform on Howard’s left.
