3.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (1 customer review)
John Hawks (Morris), fed up with the heartlessness and corruption of Wall Street while working for his girlfriend's ruthless father Stephen Corning, decides to go into business for himself, highjacking rumrunners' ships bound to Prohibition America and selling the cargo to Corning. John gains his revenge due to the fact ... that the stolen rum belonged to gangster Big John (Kohler), who turns out to be working for his ex-boss Corning. Big John is understandably angry, and goes on a murderous rampage with his own men, who had conspired against him. However, John Hawks manages to keep his upper hand against the gangster and manages to prove to Stephen Corning that he is as equally cunning as him, and more than worthy of his daughter Alison (Todd).

3.0 out of 5 stars High Seas Hi-Jinks, October 31, 2009

This review is from: Corsair (DVD)
The director of "The Bat" and "The Bat Whispers(a sound version)" returns to production with 1932's "Corsair". Flamboyant Roland West's "Corsair" stars his favorite Chester Morris as a failed stockbroker who roams the high seas robbing bootleg liquor from other bootleggers, including his former boss(and father of his girl friend). Morris huffs and puffs(he's a former football star) as best he can, with all the 1930's bravura he can muster. The location photography at sea is good, but the story drags in the middle. The pretty blond is played by West's true-life lover, Thelma Todd, who just a few years later would be found mysteriously murdered(or not) in a car in front of their Malibu Beach restaurant on Pacific Coast Highway. Director Roland West was later charged with murder, but was eventually acquitted. The scandal would ruin his career, and no more films would follow. One of Hollywood's most inovative talents would see an early end to his success. Warch "Corsair" for a number of brilliant lighting and photographic effects. On his deathbed, actor Chester Morris("Boston Blackie") whispered that West had told him that he had actually killed Thelma Todd.
