Thanks for this vid. I MUST find this movie, not least as part of it was filmed where I live. I'm a sucker for all historical British Navy films.

Graham Greene watched this in 1935 and gave it a glowing review - commending Carol Reed's directorial abilities and also the action and characters, even suggesting it as a must-watch for children. Thirteen years later, he would collaborate with Reed himself, writing the brilliant adaptation of "The Fallen Idol" and also scripting the unforgettable "The Third Man".

I am here because I recently visited Little Easton Manor in Essex, England, and it was said that part of this fim was shot in the grounds. I'd be curious to see it for that reason.

Thorold Dickinson who directed the British version of Gaslight, edited this, and Tyrone Guthrie had a hand in the dialogue direction. With all these greats, it should have been better. Watched this for young Roger Livesey, but there isn't much of him in it. Enjoying your channel. Well done!

I can't find a link to obtain a copy for the DVD anywhere. If it is now in the public domain, can you post it in it's entirety? You'd be doing the world a service.... and me too. Thanks for what you've shared so far.
