Poster for the movie Forced Landing

Forced Landing (Paramount, 1941)

Eva Gabor had her film debut in this Richard Arlen actioner. Arlen plays a hotheaded pilot who comes to the country of Mosaque for work but clashes with a local military official (Nils Asther), particularly over the officer’s fiancée (Gabor). When the young woman’s father is ill and in trouble — workers on the vital project have not been paid because the shipments have been intercepted — Arlen steps up to help…but more is going on than is apparent on the surface.

  Mildly recommended. Otto judiciously thinks this movie is OK, but not great.

Movie 252 for 2021.
