Dallas H @FozzieMcFly Dec 26 Is this supposed to be a war movie or a romance tale? Why is John Wayne playing a German freight captain with an American drawl? The film is suffering from a mild identity crisis, and my concerns about it are not addressed. See more Russ G @RT78760655 Dec 16 A Hollywood potboiler at sea. The Duke is a Deutschlander but he doesn't care for the Little Austrian Corporal. Miss Turner is..well, simply scrumptious whether she's wrapped in mink or denim and sailcloth. Part chase, part romance. All the usual shipboard plot elements thrown in but well done for the Fifties. You'll see some familiar faces including Claude Akins and the SS Minnow's Skipper, Alan Hale, Jr, is aboard, too. Worth a watch if you have a couple of hours to fill.

Busted to the command of a lowly freighter docked in Australia as World War II erupts, Ehrlich must choose: be interned by the British or sail to Germany so his men can determine their own fates. On a foggy night, Ehrlich decides - and casts off! John Wayne as Ehrlich and Lana Turner as a woman forced into Nazi espionage are a formidable romantic team in this harrowing adventure directed by John Farrow (Wake Island, Hondo). Through a relentless high-seas pursuit, Ehrlich drives his exhausted men (James Arness, Tab Hunter and others). The pursuing British have the navy that rules the waves. The freighter Ergenstrasse has the Duke. Any action fan knows that's an even - and exciting - match! See more 09/29/2017 Not Wayne's best movie, but still on my favorites list.
