“It's probably best to be honest and admit at the start that A Dangerous Woman is a bad movie--but what an exhilaratingly bad one. For students of film history there's a chance to study the typical theatrical style of the early talkie, and the casual racism of the period. (A native chief asks the controlling White Bwana if he may kill his wife for her infidelity, and the wise White Answer is no, just beat her up, and come back in a week to discuss it further!) On a purely entertainment level, it's a marvelously melodramatic sex-in-a-tropical-climate tale in the classic tradition of White Cargo, which presumably influenced the original story (A Woman Who Needed Killing) on which John Farrow based his screenplay. The definitive husband-brother-wife triangle is portrayed by Clive Brook, Neil Hamilton and Olga Baclanova.” William K. Everson
