Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis film is based on the 1934 novel "Congo Landing" by Wilson Collison and is not a remake of Red Dust (1932). Although the two films are similar, and promotional material for Congo Maisie compared them, Red Dust was based on the 1928 play of the same name, also by Collison. The play was adapted in a second version as Mogambo (1953) with the setting changed from Indochina to Africa.
- GoofsWhen Dr. Shane is trying to hold off the natives at the end, Maisie comes out and does some magic tricks - a color-changing scarf, and cards appearing from nowhere. Dr. Shane tells her to do more, and she says that's all she has. Yet earlier, she was doing a trick with a disappearing ball. And later she comes out doing a water trick.
- Quotes
Dr. Michael Shane: Little girls that listen at keyholes don't go to heaven.

Featured review
Not the best Maisie, but enjoyable
Maisie is Maisie. Always enjoyable, but never rising to the level of series like The Thin Man. I like them as much as Blondie and a little better than Torchy. If you liked the first one you can certainly bask in this mix of seriousness and silliness.
Typically, some people are upset that the African characters are not all depicted as surgeons or poets. Oddly, these guardians of the film world end up minimizing the contributions of the black actors and the importance of the African characters (e.g., Everett Brown as Jallah).
Third World riots aren't pretty (they share this quality with First World riots). Hollywood would film it different today, but they'd also ruin the movie with politics. To enjoy old movies we have to accept that things were different then.
My rating (7/10) is measuring Congo Maisie against other movies in the series and against other series movies of the same type.
