ashley h Yellow Jack is an okay film. It is about yellow fever being the Number One killer in Latin America at the turn of the century. Robert Montgomery and Virginia Bruce give decent performances. The screenplay is a little slow in places. George B. Seitz did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the drama. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
