In Another Dawn, Kay Francis marries Ian Hunter after a whirlwind shipboard romance when he's on leave in Britain. He's an army captain out there patrolling the far reaches of the Indian frontier and he likes to fly a plane in his spare time. She's already had a romance with a flier who was lost.
Of course upon arriving in India she discovers she likes his number two man Errol Flynn a whole lot more. In addition Flynn's got a sister on the post, Frieda Inescourt who is crushing out on Hunter, but never tells anyone.
Although Errol does have a brief skirmish with the Moslems to fulfill his action image requirement, the film is one gigantic soap opera with the people behaving as we Americans have come to expect in that stiff upper lip British tradition. These characters are way too noble, too self sacrificing because 'they're building a nation' as Ian Hunter so floridly puts it.
How the players managed to get through this romantic drivel is beyond me.
