Lancelot O'Hara: I did.
Lt. Thomas 'Speed' Bradshaw: What for?

Early Edward Ludwig stuff

This amaing little adventure movie already shows us the skills of the future director of WAKE OF THE RED WITCH, JIVARO, CARIBBEAN or FLAME OF THE ISLANDS. It is so impressive , even now in 2023, the special effects are astounding, so imagine back in 1939. It's only such a shame that the screenplay is so lousy, nearly comedy oriented, at least very light hearted. So, please, if you try this one, do it ONLY for the special effects. Forget the rest. Even Randolph Scott in his early days of career is not wirth the watch. He is like wine, the older vintage the better it is.... It is an obvious tribute to the US coast Guards.
