Stewart and Duryea come to a shrimping town to start drilling for oil and fall out with the locals.
Well enough made, inevitably, by Mann, this remains nevertheless an odd storyline that never quite clicks. Stewart is his usual tough, conflicted and often rather dark character he adopts in Mann's films that seems out of kilter with the best of the cast who seem to be on the verge of making a musical - all a bit wishy washy, with the inevitable romantic elements a misfire.
Worth a look for sure, but not one of Mann's best. Good storm sequence though.
