The Sea Chase (1955)
5/10
Honest John, away from his usual line of work
25 September 2005
Warning: Spoilers
This is definitely a kind of strange movie, the Duke doing almost a cameo as the good German Freighter Captain Ehrlich (=German for "Honest"), who tries to get away from Allied Warships after the War has stranded him with his Ship in South America. This alone would be strange enough, but add to it the company of Lana Turner, certainly the most genuine Navy Mata Hari of all sorts. All in all, it drags along to the must-be-ending of Wayne suffering one of his rare on screen hero deaths. Only for the very tough Wayne Fans, otherwise, no point in putting in time or money into it. A little bit unfortunate, that John Farrow, who was a sort of expert of Naval movies, couldn't get more out of this.
