SO many big hollywood stars, and so many oscar nominations in this story by O'Neill. John wayne, Thomas Mitchell, irishman Barry Fitzgerald. director John Ford and Wayne were old buddies by now, so they knew the ropes, so to speak. when a ship is bringing dangerous cargo to the war effort in London, the captain allows the locals in the west indies to bring booze and girls aboard. and when they sail, everything that can go wrong does go wrong. the weather. injured men. and when one of the men acts strangely, they think he's a spy. and they confront him. although he got top billing, Wayne has a really minor role during the first hour. but has a big scene right near the end. It's all pretty good. no big surprises, but good story. Directed by john ford, who made TONS of films with J. Wayne, and won FOUR oscars!
