Movie #929 "They Met in Bombay" was a movie Dave was telling me about that he watched the other morning, and I didn't recognize it, so my brother found it in the library for me to watch. I'm glad I did because it was putting two actors together that I would never think would be successful together, but they are apparently good enough to work with anybody --- in this case, it is Gable and Rosalind Russell ---- they are two cons and meet stealing a very expensive Indian necklace, and end up in China. Along the way, they meet up with Peter Lorre (what's new about that? he's playing a Chinese boat captain) and he always adds fun to any film. I liked it; it's a bit different, but in 1941, it couldn't end any other way, really. There's nothing like a good con story, in my opinion, and this one is cute.
They Met in Bombay 1941 I would give it 3 stars out of 5
A jewel thief and a con artist are rivals in the theft of a valuable gem as the Japanese army invades China.
