Kongo

Having sent an assistant in a goofy mask to frighten the simple natives, Walter Huston as crippled ivory trader Flint abuses Virginia Bruce as Ann, the daughter of a rival whom he snatched years earlier from a convent school, his mistress Lupe Velez asking mercy, in MGM’s nasty pre-Code Kongo, 1932.

Joining the first conversation between crippled vengeful African ivory trader-bandit Flint (Walter Huston) and drunken/addicted doctor Kingsland (Conrad Nagel), joined by his crony Cookie (Forrester Harvey), and his mistress (Lupe Velez), hatching a plot, in MGM’s Kongo, 1932.

Opening MGM’s pre-Code dark jungle revenge-exploitation drama, Walter Huston is Flint, with aides Cookie and Hogan (Forrester Harvey, Mitchell Lewis) Lupe Velez his mistress Tula, his motives not yet clear but his character well-drawn, William Cowen directing, in Kongo, 1932.
