IMDb plot summary: A Havana bar girl with a tough "protector" falls for a young sailor.
Directed by Tay Garnett. Starring Helen Twelvetrees, Phillips Holmes, and Marjorie Rambeau.
Her Man is a story about a woman who is a pickpocketing prostitute working in Cuba trying to get to the U.S. She falls in love with a sailor who promises to sweep her off her feet, but between her own uncertainty and her boss not being pleased with her leaving, she ends up being very concerned that she's not going to be able to make it happen. This is a pretty mediocre film. There are some engaging background character interactions, especially with two of the sailor's drunken shipmates who come to the rescue at the end, which is really exciting. And I did find it extremely funny that our main character's shirt just got progressively more ripped throughout the course of the movie, until at the end it's like hanging and rags off of him as he's fighting. But for the most part, this is a very standard and uninteresting version of this story.
