It's the Front Page meets Red Dust with James Cagney trying his best to get on and stay on a boat out of Honduras.

The Torrid Zone is one of Cagney's funniest movies and offers a script with some of the raciest dialogue anyone is going to find in a post-code studio system script.

Written by Jerry Wald and Richard Macaulay the screenplay for the 88 minute movie comes in at 159 pages which gives you an idea of how fast the wisecracks fly.
