Malaria is a 1943 French drama film directed by Jean Gourguet and starring Mireille Balin, Sessue Hayakawa and Jacques Dumesnil.[1]
The film's sets were designed by the art director Robert Dumesnil.
In the French colonial empire a love triangle develops between two men and a woman. She begins having an affair with a man who promises to take her back to Europe and away from the tropical colony which she finds like a prison. However a native servant overhears them and then mysteriously disappears, leading to suspicions of murders.
