Movie Info

Ex-navy pilot Slattery (Richard Widmark) works for a dope-smuggling ring. When he's not in the air, Slattery is making time with Dolores (Veronica Lake), the somewhat put-upon secretary of the ring's leader. Only upon meeting Aggie (Linda Darnell), the wife of his old navy buddy Hobson (John Russell), does Slattery entertain thoughts of changing his ways. As the film's title indicates, Slattery redeems himself during an outsized hurricane. Based on a story by Herman Wouk, Slattery's Hurricane

Not as good as it should have been but still an interesting film thanks to having a talent like Richard Widmark in the lead. Both Linda and Veronica are wasted in insubstantial parts. Veronica with her famous hair shorn looks quite matronly.
