Strange Cargo Ratings & Reviews
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
This enjoyable adventure is a good star vehicle for Cark Gable, then at the height of his popularity, and Joan Crawford.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
Despite the pious pitfalls it sets for itself, it's a strikingly open film
Movie Metropolis
John J. Puccio
...a rather talky adventure, but fascinating to say the least, with plenty of local color and offbeat characters.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Embarrassingly flavorful as a Hollywood religious delicacy.
Slant Magazine
Dan Callahan
MGM megastars Clark Gable and Joan Crawford headline Strange Cargo, a humid prison break movie that turns into a bald-faced religious allegory.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Weird, but brilliantly done, allegorical drama.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
Brilliant allegory.
