Biography

Née de parents acteurs de théâtre, Olympe Bradna les suit en tournée dès l'enfance, en France et à travers l'Europe. Au cinéma, elle contribue d'abord adolescente à deux films français réalisés par Gaston Roudès, Roger la Honte (avec Constant Rémy et Germaine Rouer) et Flofloche (avec Armand Bernard et France Dhélia), sortis respectivement en 1933 et 1934.

Elle part ensuite avec ses parents aux États-Unis, où elle est remarquée dans deux numéros dansés de la Revue Folies Bergère, présentée en 1934 et 1935 à Chicago et New York. Puis, à la faveur d'un contrat avec Paramount Pictures, elle tourne à Hollywood douze films américains, les deux premiers sortis en 1936.

Citons Âmes à la mer d'Henry Hathaway (1937, avec Gary Cooper, George Raft et Frances Dee), Le Dernier Train de Madrid de James P. Hogan (1937, avec Dorothy Lamour, Lew Ayres et Gilbert Roland) et Paradis volé d'Andrew L. Stone (1938, avec Gene Raymond et Glenda Farrell).

Après trois ultimes films sortis en 1941 (dont Esquadrille internationale de Lothar Mendes et Lewis Seiler, avec Ronald Reagan et William Lundigan), Olympe Bradna se marie la même année et se retire définitivement de l'écran pour se consacrer à son foyer.

The story is based on two distinct early 19th-century themes, including the attempts by abolitionists (Cooper and Raft) to end the slave trade. Although the U.S. Constitution ended the importation of slaves in 1808, slaves were still being brought into the country under foreign flags. The abolition of slavery by Great Britain helped reduce legal trade in slaves by putting the British navy into action against slave traders, but even Britain had its supporters of the trade (here represented by Wilcoxon, as a British naval officer acting for the slave interests). The collision between Cooper and Wilcoxon is complicated by Wilcoxon's sister (Dee) falling in love with Cooper.

La guerre civile espagnole a inspiré ce drame. Lors de l'avance franquiste vers la capitale, une foule de gens veulent fuir pour différents motifs. Ce sont les circonstances purement imaginaires, mais assez vraisemblables de cet embarquement et des démarches et marchandages qui le précédèrent qui sont relatées avec impartialité.
