Swamp Fire (1946)
After serving in WWII, a man (Johnny Weissmuller) returns home to the bayous of Louisiana. His attempts to fall back into his former life are complicated by a wealthy heiress (Virginia Grey) who has designs on him and his hot tempered rival (Buster Crabbe doing a dreadful Cajun accent) who resents his return. Directed by William H. Pine, this poverty row potboiler is of interest in seeing Tarzan (Weissmuller) and Flash Gordon (Crabbe) battle each other. Weissmuller may not be playing Tarzan but he's still wrestling rubber alligators! As usual in films of this sort, the "bad" girl (Grey) is much more fun than the "good" girl (Carol Thurston) though it's inevitable that Weismuller will choose the boring nice girl. Watchable but forgettable. With Pedro De Cordoba and Pierre Watkin.
