This movie should be on DVD, and I hope that enough comments to that effect will get it marketed. There are some similarities to the film Captain Eddie, the biopic about the life of Eddie Rickenbacker (aircraft in ocean, survivors drifting, flashbacks of biography), but unlike the highly fictionalized biography of Rickenbacker, High Barbaree deals with fictional characters. Without giving away anything, I should warn anyone who might read the book by Charles Nordhoff and James Norman Hall (who also wrote Mutiny on the Bounty) that the book ending is different than the film ending. Also, not mentioned by the other comments is that this film contains action footage of a PBY attacking an enemy ship, a really rare scene in World War II films. I can't think of another film that shows a PBY in action, and High Barbaree does it very well.
