Log before "The Deep" there was "Wake of the Red Witch" A fury-filled adventure and a passionate love story with Gail Russell who says ...I can't be bought."
It is the 1860s in the South Pacific, Capt. Ralls (John Wayne,) is the skipper of the ship, Red Witch.
John pits himself up against a ruthless Dutch shipping magnate Mayrant Sidneyeand (Luther Adler), a giant (flimsy) octopus and (sturdy) Gail Russell to recover some pearls, even gold. And someone of course, is killed in the movie.
Be prepared for flash-backs, lots of them and a possible flash forward.
You get an early view of Gig Young as Sam Rosen who can be seen again in "Ask Any Girl" (1959).
All in all, it is a very watchable movie and you may be surprised that you are caught up in the story.
