One Way Passage	comment	One Way Passage is a 1932 Melodrama directed by Tay Garnett, starring William Powell and Kay Francis.Dan Hardesty and Joan Ames (Powell and Francis) meet each other in a bar in Shanghai and are instantly smitten with each other. Happily, Dan and Joan find themselves boarding the same ship headed back to San Francisco, with a stop at Honolulu. Unhappily, both Dan and Joan have pretty big problems. Dan is an escaped murderer under sentence of death, and he is being taken back to San Francisco by a policeman, Steve Burke. Joan for her part is terminally ill; she won't last much longer after getting back to San Francisco, if she even makes it that long. Meanwhile, two of Dan's criminal acquaintances, Skippy the thief and "Barrel House" Betty the con artist are on board, and are willing to help Dan.Cue tragic romance.This had a remake in the forties, Till We Meet Again.

One Way Passage / int_20613a2a	comment	Victorian Novel Disease: In classic movie fashion, Joan has an unnamed illness that apparently could kill her at any moment, but still has her looking gorgeous, and for that matter vital, except for the occasional fainting spell. An offhand reference to a "sanitarium" implies tuberculosis, but she never coughs once.

One Way Passage / int_392ecd12	comment	Fake Aristocrat: Barrel House Betty is passing herself off as "Countess Barilhaus" (get it?). She's a con artist who was looking to scam a British lord on the cruise, but she winds up falling for Steve and getting out of the life.

One Way Passage / int_43a831db	comment	Epic Tracking Shot: A couple of rather impressive tracking shots for an era where cameras were usually stationary. The opening scene spends a full minute tracking down a bar before stopping at a bartender and staying on him for nearly another minute. The last scene tracks across the floor of a nightclub to another bar.

One Way Passage / int_6a696742	type	The Power of Love
One Way Passage / int_6a696742	comment	The Power of Love: Throughout the film, Dan and Joan have been making toasts, breaking the glasses, and lying the stems of the shattered glasses on top of each other, as a symbol of their love. Dan and Joan pledge to meet each other at the Agua Caliente restaurant on New Year's Eve. Then Dan is taken away to jail to be executed, and Joan faints, presumably dying. The last scene is at a bar on New Year's. A melancholy Skippy is drinking at the Agua Caliente bar, with neither Dan nor Joan in attendance. Suddenly a sound of breaking glass is heard. The last shot shows the stems of two shattered glasses, one lying on top of the other one.

But once he finds out what's happening between Dan and Joan he loses his taste for police work. He's also falling in love with Betty. So when he gets a telegram stating that "Countess Barilhaus" is a con artist that he should arrest, he throws it away—just as Betty is telling him the truth.
