Also Known as "Damn the Defiant!" in the U.S.
While reading the Wikipedia page for the film– I came across this passage, and wanted to shed a light on it.
" In a contemporary review for The New York Times, critic Bosley Crowther wrote: "The perennially popular topic of wooden ships and iron men, of eighteenth-century square-riggers, naval martinets and mutineers is handled with the kind of graphic splendor that should set a million boyish hearts aflame ... [Y]ou will know that you've sat through a picture that does not make much psychological sense but has the rich and rosy luster of a blood-drenched seafaring romance. ... So, if you're for naval roistering, here is your cup of rum."
This film had a couple of nice frigates and a ship of the line. As usual, I'll share my favorite screenshots.
