Overlong and uncomfortable filmed play, providing Jack Lemmon with his first Oscar. Ford controls the sailors well, but it doesn't really feel like a John Ford movie, somehow. (In theory it should be, but the play's the limitation.)
Henry Fonda, William Powell (his last performance), Jimmy Cagney, Ward Bond.
Shot on location in the Pacific by Winny Hoch in CinemaScope and Warnercolor.
