(1935)
2.5
Hans J. Wollstein
People bearing such colorful names as Colonel Upton Calhoun Belcher, Orville Schmelling, and Millicent Caldwell Bath misbehave and get in trouble aboard a luxury liner. That's about all there is to Black Sheep, a minor survivor from the Fox "Grade-B" department, which also features Claire Trevor playing yet another of her patented fallen women and singing Sidney Claire and Oscar Levant's "In Other Words I'm in Love." Although ostracized by all and sundry, Trevor proves her true character by saving young Tom Brown from committing suicide and as a reward of sorts gets to go home with aging Lothario Edmund Lowe, who turns out to be Brown's long-lost father. Too bad for Trevor and too bad for veteran director Allan Dwan, who also wrote the story and thus had only himself to blame for the ensuing tedium.
