A sadistic, evil ship captain lusts after a beautiful young girl he spots in town. It turns out that she's the girlfriend of a young man whose father the captain had blinded and cast adrift on the ocean many years before!
A treat to see Priscilla Dean again...thank you !
PF, I believe you've out done yourself with that one. Knew the confrontation would come but still...wow. Even the cousin turned out to have a heart in the end. Good triumphs.
thanks for posting. my favorite part was the scene starts at 56:43 & ends at 57:45 , it was exciting and dramatic :)
now, if you think I'm making fun of this movie, you're sadly mistaken, it's just my creative/sick sense of humor ;)
in fact, I really liked this film, it was simple but interesting.
two characters played their roles brilliantly. first was uncle
Bilge, he was so cool --> 3:03 "you know if this storm don't stop pretty soon I'm gonna do something about it", 6:11 "look what is this just a lotta wet get outta here get away you ocean", 10:28 "next Christmas". second was cousin Estelle. she had strong screen presence and she was hot as...well, never mind ;) I like those pre-code films 'cause they are easy to watch/look at (just like the cuz), there aren't any "dead parts", there aren't any dull moments, they have perfect tempo, they flow easily. for me it's enough compensation for the lack of depth, and the more I see them the more I find myself can't handle 'since'-code films ;)
incredibly brutal beginning
Well it seems Hollywood eventually got around the code by using a rating system.
0:04 so I guess this must be a TV version. Still it's kinda creepy seeing a copyright 1950 for a 1931 movie!
Doncha wonder why someone would be holding a child on her lap, drinking coffee in seas as rough as that? Despite reading a critical review, I thought it was a pretty good B movie.
No, I don't wonder that.🤪
wow this movie ended up nowhere
A good featurette,after opening credits.
@26:35 ships ahoy, treasure chest spotted with two large doubloons.
Thar was Eve Southern. a Texas girl. Age 33 at the time. Not sure of the 'treasure' statistic. Movie got a lot better after the implied rape a suicide.
1:05, 4:03, 8:23, 11:31, 12:38, 13:13, 16:24, 22:02, 25:05, 36:25, 38:08, 41:01, 41:25, 48:20, 59:22
