The Sea Hawk (1940)

The Sea Hawk (1940) Poster**** out of 5
The choice to switch from black and white to sepia for the panama sequence is an interesting throw-back to techniques used in silent film, where tinting was sometimes used to denote time of day or interior vs. exterior scenes. In this case it is effectively used to depict the extreme heat of the tropical climate.
