The War of 1812 is raging and American naval captain James Marshall (Mark Stevens) is charged with sailing to France to obtain a war loan in gold. When Marshall selects salty Ben Waldridge (Patric Knowles) as his first mate, Waldridge insists on bringing aboard his own former crew. The moment news of their cargo reaches the crew's ears, however, they begin plotting a mutiny -- and when they reach France, Waldridge's old flame, Leslie (Angela Lansbury), comes aboard with the gold.

Martina V Angela Lansbury is spectacular as always! The film in general is okay. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/27/24 Full Review Audience Member It's good, and that's all Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Too long but Angela L. is spectacular, of course! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Best film ever made about the War of 1812 (partly because it literally has almost no competition). Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty Sad Film, an attemp to put the War of 1812 on the big screen with toy boats. Boaring and dull film was very dark in places. Angela Lansbury starred in this one, she could have only went up from here. 1/2 star. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Where to begin with this bottom of the barrel adventure? Dmytryk was always an inconsistent director able to produce fine films like "The Caine Mutiny" and "Broken Lance" as well as high gloss trash such as "Walk on the Wild Side" and "Where Love Has Gone" and slug like this. Strictly paying the rent actors give lackluster performances. Angela looks great but why oh why is she wearing a 1950's evening dress on a warship in 1812? Painfully obvious that this was filmed on the cheap in a studio tank with low lighting to cover the sets shortcomings. A shame since there are not a lot a films about this time period so a wasted oppurtunity like this is doubly disappointing. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
