CARAVAN (1946)

ARTHUR CRABTREE

Plot

During the last half of the 19th century writer Richard Darrell saves Don Carlos from two robbers, and is entrusted by Don Carlos to take a valuable necklace to Spain. Richard leaves his fiancé, Oriana, and starts the trip. He meets Wycroft, a henchman for Sir Francis Castteldow, an aristocrat out to steal Oriana from Richard. The latter is assaulted, robbed and nearly killed and, as a result, loses his memory. He marries a gypsy girl, Rosal, while Oriana, thinking him dead marries the dastardly Sir Francis. Everybody will meet again. Complications will arise. Written by Les Adams. The baddies are baddies; the cads are cads, and It's safe to say you know exactly where this ripping melodrama is going, but in all it's unsubtleties boy does it entertain.
