Trivia
Quita wears traditional Portuguese attire for her wedding.

Goofs
When Quita tells Mike to leave her alone after being informed of her father's death, he responds twice with "yeah, all right". But Robinson as Mike drops the Portuguese accent he uses for the role and uses a regular American accent.

Tiger Shark (1932)

*** (out of 4)

A lonely fisherman (Edward G. Robinson) marries a girl out of pity only to see her fall in love with his best friend. Director Howard Hawks does a very good job at showing off a wide range of emotions from sentiment to laughs to some very intense shark attack scenes. Robinson clearly steals the show with his touching performance but the supporting roles are good too. Another highlight is seeing the old time assembly line of having the fish removed from the boat and cleaned all in the matter of minutes. Apparently Warner loved this story so much that they remade it three times within the next ten years including Robinson returning in Manpower.!!!
