Red Dust**
(PG)     
(Plaza Stockport)

(US 1932)
MGM.  83m. bw

A rubber plantation owner in remote Indochina is disturbed by the unexpected arrival of two very different women.
Raunchy "pre-code" jungle melodrama with some daringly risqué moments for the time including Harlow's nude bathtub scene, but there are plenty of other none-too subtle moments. The women steal the attention (where they can) from Gable at his most masculine.
