Released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, it is based on the 1923 London and Broadway hit play by Leon Gordon, which was in turn adapted from the 1912 novel Hell's Playground by Ida Vera Simonton. The play had already been made into a British part-talkie, also titled White Cargo, with Maurice Evans in 1930. The 1942 film, unlike the play, begins in what was then the present-day, before unfolding in flashback. ## Credits - **Director:** [Richard Thorpe](https://cinepixo.com/people/richard-thorpe) - **Screenplay:** [Leon Gordon](https://cinepixo.com/people/leon-gordon) - **Original Music Composer:** [Bronisław Kaper](https://cinepixo.com/people/bronis-aw-kaper) - **Producer:** [Victor Saville](https://cinepixo.com/people/victor-saville) - **Director of Photography:** [Harry Stradling](https://cinepixo.com/people/harry-stradling) ## Cast - [Bramwell Fletcher](https://cinepixo.com/people/bramwell-fletcher) - [Walter Pidgeon](https://cinepixo.com/people/walter-pidgeon) - [Henry O'Neill](https://cinepixo.com/people/henry-o-neill) - [Frank Morgan](https://cinepixo.com/people/frank-morgan) - [Clyde Cook](https://cinepixo.com/people/clyde-cook) - [Hedy Lamarr](https://cinepixo.com/people/hedy-lamarr) - [Leigh Whipper](https://cinepixo.com/people/leigh-whipper) - [Oscar Polk](https://cinepixo.com/people/oscar-polk) - [Richard Carlson](https://cinepixo.com/people/richard-carlson) - [Reginald Owen](https://cinepixo.com/people/reginald-owen) ## Criticism on CinePixo No reviews published yet.
