Enjoyable adventure yarn along a rags-to-riches theme spread between English country estates and the exotic south seas. Boys of the time must have loved it! Tyrone Power is always a likeable hero, and interesting to see the much-troubled Frances Farmer in one of her few roles. A few moments have inevitably dated but there is still much to please!

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

This is a good story and those of you that have never seen Frances Farmer, order it from Netlix or see it on TCM.

Gene Tierney is smoking hot in this and that's pretty much the only reason to watch it.

A painfully mediocre and forgettable film.

Story of a determined young man, unwilling to give up. Not one ounce of pity is felt for the bad guy in the end, not from me at least. He paid for what he did.
