Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBoth after the opening and before the ending credits, the following quotation of Marcus Aurelius Antoninus - (121-180), Meditations. iii. 10 - is depicted on-screen: "Short, therefore, is man's life; and narrow is the corner of the earth wherein he dwells."
- GoofsThe harbor shows a large ship. The entrance to the harbor is barely wide enough for the small sailing ship to go through.
- Quotes
Fred Blake: I want life to be fair. I want life to be brave and honest. I'm not willing to stand by while the good are punished and the wicked go scott free. I want all men to be descent. Surely, that's not asking too much.
Doctor Saunders: I don't know. It's asking more than life can give. Remember the words of Disraeli, Youth is a blunder, Maturity is struggle, and Old Age are a grit.

Featured review
Good, should have been better
For an alleged 'B' movie they sure threw a budget at this, with not one but two storm-at-sea scenes. This should have been a better movie: Doug Jr is ideally cast as Fred Blake, and the other male parts are well cast, even Ralph Bellamy as a Dane once you get used to the idea, and the accent which seems more Norwegian than Danish to me. The main problems are two: (1) the girl is too young and inadequate to the part, and (2) they tried to get too much of the book into a bit over an hour: the entire sequence about the manuscript could have been deleted without loss, and there are a couple of other very entertaining incidents in the book that could have replaced it. Or maybe it should have been made to a 80-90 minute length. This seems to have been a case of Warner Bros. Still not quite knowing what exactly it was doing ... and blaming Doug Jr.
