This John Wayne seafaring action adventure from Republic would have benefited from colour, but it still provides reasonable entertainment, despite its very studio-bound South Seas setting. Wayne and Luther Adler play rival shipowners who compete for the affections of Gail Russell during the search for a fortune in pearls. The Red Witch herself was used again in 1953's Fair Wind to Java, and now resides in the Hollywood Wax Museum on Hollywood Boulevard. Incidentally, Wayne named his film production company, Batjac, after the fictional shipping line in this movie.
Rattling good action yarn told in flashback, with adequate production and performances.
a very good film and whole entertaining i enjoy good film without swearing and this film does not contain any foul langauge which is a good thing because i can let my grandchildren watch it.
