Another Dawn (1937)
In the grand tradition of very obvious war dramas, Another Dawn leaves the audience cold and bored. Kay Francis stars as a beautiful widow who vows to never love again. Ian Hunter falls in love with her and they get married on the principle of friendship, rather than love. Of course, as soon as they return from their romance-less honeymoon, Ian introduces his new bride to his best friend and fellow soldier Errol Flynn. Even if it wasn’t Errol Flynn in the cast, this wouldn’t be a difficult movie to predict.
Kay and Errol, two wild actors in real life, managed not to show the audience any chemistry together, and I couldn’t help but think it was because they knew the script was so corny and predictable. Maybe it was all they could do to keep from rolling their eyes on camera. As beautifully handsome as Errol Flynn is, he’s not nearly as sympathetic as Ian Hunter’s character. And as much as your heart goes out to Ian, even he isn’t as sympathetic as Herbert Mundin’s character. Herbert is continually bullied and ridiculed by his fellow soldiers, and since he didn’t do anything to deserve the treatment, it’s pretty sad to watch.
Unless you’re a Kay Francis fan, which I’m not really, you don’t have to watch this one. Check out The Dawn Patrol for a much better Errol Flynn war movie, or even The Charge of the Light Brigade.
