What happens

Singapore Woman is a 1941 American romantic drama film directed by Jean Negulesco and starring Brenda Marshall, David Bruce and Virginia Field. The Warner Bros. B picture is a remake of Dangerous (1935) using leftover sets from The Letter (1940). The story was based on Laird Doyle's short Hard Luck Dame. At one point both Ida Lupino and Jeffrey Lynn were attracted to the project and the latter received a suspension from the studio after refusing to do the role. Although Negulesco was the sole-credited director, he left the production and the film was completed by producer Harlan Thompson. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
