Outward Bound

Although modern audiences will probably guess what is happening before the characters on the screen do, "Outward Bound" is still a pioneering film thematically, in the way it bends and breaks the reality of what we are seeing. Leslie Howard is a little too theatrical in his talkie debut, but Dudley Digges scores points by playing the Examiner in a quite unorthodox way. An intriguing movie from start to finish. *** out of 4.
