The swaying palms and lapping waves of Waikiki give way to the sordid darkness of nearby Chinatown in this Aloha Noir. Chet Chester (a front-and-center role for Wendell Corey) is an island gangster gone legit, only an old accomplice won't let sleeping leis lie. Fresh from the mainland, Dona (Evelyn Keyes) also seeks out Chet, thinking he's her husband lost at Pearl Harbor. Written by Steve Fisher (I Wake Up Screaming, Lady in the Lake), this half-acre includes Philip Ahn as the murderous Mr. Kong, some kitschy luau music, and a world-weary Wendell who could use a day in the tropical sun.
