What a star packed movie! Some of the best actors Hollywood had to offer in 1937; Gary Cooper, George Raft, Harry Carey, and Francis Dee. I had never even heard of this movie before. Thanks for sharing it with all us!
They had quite a few bloopers in this old flick. My favorite around 52 minutes they are in calm water docked around docked ships and then they are on the high seas and Cooper is trying to hold the damsel in distress. Equally entertaining is the one just Pryor as she walks tops turvey below deck as the ship slants and Cooper slants with it and follows her up on the still ship docked in calm water next to other docked ships all under a clear, calm sky and then we go to the stormy sea. Two fine entertaining bloopers sandwiching a calm deck walk. Good movie, great cast; good old fashioned bloopers for the old time great flicks. Now that's fun and adventure old school.
Never saw this before and it was a really good movie. Great cast and good story line. A lot better than what's out there today. Really enjoy these old black and white movies. Thanks.
This movie is a keeper. Well acted and addressing something that should have been taught in school. The tall ships are breathtaking. Thank you for posting this. I especially enjoyed it.
How young Cooper and Raft are! The Violinist also became a big name later: Paul Fix. Action packed with some scenes at Sea that must have been tough to shoot and Hell for the actors. A lost gem.
Underrated movie!Another hidden gem!!! Man,G.Raft was sepctacualr on this movie! His look when Gary Cooper asked him where was his girl.... man, what a movie!!
What brings a tears to my eyes watching these old beautiful movies, is that... All the actors and staff , extras included, are gone 😢 If only... Hollywood had these actors today!! Our children would have morals having watched no sex no vulgar no nonsense real stories!! Alas, only we old people watch in awe of the greatness of the story and morals!? 😢 ☘️☘️☘️
Olympe Bradna was the daughter of Fred and Ella Bradna. She was a sickly child, left in Europe with relatives, while Fred served 42 seasons as Equestrian Director (which the public calls Ringmaster) for Ringling Bros. Circus. Ella was a great star there with elegant horse acts. The parents seldom saw Olympe, and her becoming the actress we see here was through her own perseverance.

Very good movie. First time I've seen it good. Acting all the way around Dan scene with George raft and basie It's very moving. He chose to stay. And put the ring on her finger Very moving
So sad. The burning of books has a long history of being a tool utilized by authorities both secular and religious, in their efforts to suppress dissenting or heretical views that are believed to pose a threat to the prevailing order.
good film .sadly at the time more famous for the record breaking deal that paramount paid warners for the loanout of raft .he and cooper were then the hottest stars on the planet . problem was having paired the two with great publicity they then realised they didnt have a picture to put them in. a cb demille epic reap the wild wind was intended but de mille hated raft and thought him a poor actor.he went ahead and made union pacific with joel mcrea standing in for cooper who now was tied up in souls at sea.reap the wild wind was later a huge hit for john wayne and ray milland.hathaway said souls at sea had been kicking around for years and they rushed it into production as rafts loan out period was runnung out.henry said they picked it because it had sailing ships in it like reap the wild wind! in the event it was a good movie but did poorly.put simply there was nothing wrong with it but it wasnt the actionfest the two huge stars promised . not enough fighting and shooting in it was hathaways opinion!
After the oath of office for the sea we sailors of now a days have to give a sequence to this story of the end of slaver for the ideal of freedom or the promise to life and Creation in Heaven's policy by promise of tear and tidal. (class discussion)
“Another sailing movie with mostly text?” I didn’t see any text, unless you watched it with subtitles. Perhaps you meant dialogue, but there wasn’t too much of that, just enough. As for being just another ‘sailing’ movie, I don’t know how to respond to that. But it was a worthwhile early movie, and quite unique, in that it highlighted the inhumanity of the slave trade. Perhaps you’d best stick with Marvel Comics movies and films like Armageddon instead?

@rogersmith4834....I was wondering who that young girl was......thank you..!!
@@marbleman52 The little girl who started the fire was Virginia Weidler. The young lady who played George Raft's love interest was Olympe Bradna.
Thanks for the info!
amazing visual quality for a movie nearly 90 years old

Great movie! This is one movie I’ve never seen! I thought I’d seen all of “ Coops” movies.
Glad you like it. Welcome. I post Gary Cooper movies here: ruclips.net/p/PLk3CReZFhoBf8uQl5j7XNhArHZq9I8Y9o

Glad you enjoyed it! I post Henry Hathaway movies here: ruclips.net/p/PLk3CReZFhoBdGbvZUxQLYpdMkrBIuVpqU
I've always been a fan of Gary Cooper, not so much for George Raft. But Raft was excellent in this, probably his best film.
There is a Christmas movie with Cooper and Raft as 2 of three brothers, great flick, you might also like George alittle better 😀

Kids are getting less education due to banned books like To Kill a Mockingbird and counting.
Didn't realize was banned. How tragic. It's a classic with a good moral
😢
The ignorance! A beautiful piece of literature.
I agree.
So sad. The burning of books has a long history of being a tool utilized by authorities both secular and religious, in their efforts to suppress dissenting or heretical views that are believed to pose a threat to the prevailing order.
Never was a fan of George raft, but he's strong in this and playing it out of his stereo type gangster rolls, gray cooper very good,👍🇺🇸
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Gary Cooper in a slavery movie? I always viewed him in his films as a humanist!

The real deal when it comes to talking about slaves. Even talked about throwing them overboard so they wouldn't get caught.
Roger that. Thanks for watching.
As a black person I'm watching this movie very carefully I'll let you know my findings ?
As a white person, how is your view more relevant than mine? ALL lives matter!
👍
Another sailing movie with mostly text.

Preposterous movie. It is understandable why screenwriters were so poorly paid.

Your opinion is certainly important as a film critic 😂
