Having fallen from grace at Paramount, musical comedy star Nancy Carroll
retreated to Columbia Pictures, known in 1935 as "the Port of Missing
Stars." Though Carroll does no singing in Columbia's Atlantic Adventure,
she is still a charming and delightful screen presence. The actress is cast
as Helen, the oft-neglected fiancee of hotshot reporter Dan Miller (Lloyd
Nolan). When he tries to keep his appointments with Helen, Dan is fired
by his newspaper. Hoping to get back in the good graces of his boss, Dan
boards an ocean liner in pursuit of the man responsible for the murder of
the District Attorney. It must needs be that Helen is also on board this
ship, as is a gang of jewel thieves, leading to more than a few perilous
situations for the hero and heroine. Silent film comedian Harry Langdon,
who like Nancy Carroll was considered a fading star in 1935, is hilarious
as Dan's photographer pal Snapper.
