What happens
Stingaree is an American pre-Code romantic drama film directed by William A. Wellman released by RKO Radio Pictures in 1934. The film was based on a 1905 novel by Ernest William Hornung. Set in Australia, it stars Irene Dunne as Hilda Bouverie and Richard Dix as Stingaree. Hollywood had previously filmed the Hornung story as serials in 1915 and 1917, starring True Boardman. Producer David Lewis wrote, "Bill Wellman has been quoted as saying that Stingaree was the worst movie he was ever associated with, and I’m sure it was. I can’t say it was the worst movie I ever made, but it was among the worst." (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
