Description

The Florida Keys in 1840, where the implacable hurricanes of the Caribbean scream, where the salvagers of Key West, like the intrepid and beautiful Loxi Claiborne and her crew, reap, aboard frail schooners, the harvest of the wild wind, facing the shark teeth of the reefs to rescue the sailors and the cargo from the shipwrecks caused by the scavengers of the sea.

    The last twenty minutes or so go some way to redeeming this otherwise rather meandering romantic drama that has a cast that looks good on paper but is much less effective on screen. John Wayne ("Jack Stuart") is the captain who has just lost his ship after it was wrecked on a dangerous reef by men allegedly working for Raymond Massey ("King Cutler"). His boss Walter Hampden ("Commodore Devereaux") is less than impressed and Duke is demoted and ordered to take Ray Milland ("Tolliver") to Key West. Meantime, the feisty Paulette Goddard ("Loxi") who is all but engaged to "Stuart" arrives on the scene and straight onto Milland's radar... Now Wayne has got to prove his ship was deliberately sunk and keep his girl from his duplicitous rival. The story is pretty procedural and lame, to be honest - Goddard brings some charm to the film, but Milland (and his ventriloquist doggy act) gets a bit wearisome after a while and neither Wayne nor the usually sinister Massey are anywhere near their best. It features some good underwater antics towards the conclusion but the story is just a bit too weak and predictable. Colourful, though...and it's got a monkey!
