STARVING FOR WOMEN

These love hungry men yearned for shore leave... bright lights, liquor, scarlet ludics-And even when they were trapped in a sub on the bottom of the China Sea, with their doom facing them, with their true characters emerging, they talked-between thrilla-of WOMEN!

The most significant talking picture yet produced.
