Clark Gable and Jean Harlow star as a steamship captain and the "woman of the world" he rejects while on a voyage bound for Singapore across the treacherous China Seas. Aboard Captain Alan Gaskell's (Academy Award winner Gable) tramp freighter are both his mistress, China Doll (Harlow), and Gaskell's former girlfriend, the refined Sybil Barclay (Rosalind Russell), whom Gaskell now chooses over China Doll--even as China Doll tries to warn him about a plan by his crew to help a gang of pirates and split the cargo of gold. Now, as the heavily laden ship slowly charts its way across the oppressive tropical sea, China Doll devises a plot to have her revenge against the man who spurns her.

Ann Ross

China Seas is as stirring a melodrama as you are likely to come across during the current movie season, one violent climax leading into another and frequently overlapping it.

China Seas addresses the moral clichés of previous films with a curious sense of humor that is born from the dialogue, written with skill and talent. [Full Review in Spanish]

A typical MGM star vehicle of the Depression era, benefiting from strong chemistry between Gable and Harlow.
