Stanley and Livingstone Movie Review 1939

The classic Hollywood kitsch version of the Victorian legend-based-on-fact. American journalist Tracy sets out into darkest Africa to locate a long lost Brisith explorer. Lavish, dramatically solid fictionalized history. (The real Stanley did not become a missionary--but hey, this is the movies). Tracy is excellent, as usual, and low-key.
