Short Review

Torrid Zone is a decent film. It is about trouble that is brewing at a Central American banana plantation. James Cagney and Ann Sheridan give good performances. The screenplay is a little in places. William Keighley did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the action and humor.
