Clyde Gilmour Maclean's Magazine The ensuing events are full of routine heroics, but excellent Technicolor camerawork and some interesting documentary stuff on whaling help to pass the time. Oct 24, 2019 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews The pace is sea sickening slow and the adventure tale remains incomprehensible. Rated: C+ Jul 24, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews
