The Sea Wolf
Jack London's novel gets its fifth guard incarnation (and, in the hands of Casablanca's Curtiz, its most skilful and famous), with Robinson winsome on the post of Wolf Larsen, the inwards dislikeable captain of the scavenger get out Ghost. Knox and Lupino are the disparate duo who seek hidey-hole aboard the send, but suffer so greatly at the hands of Larsen that they scenario their escape along with tormented cabin slave Garfield. London isn't completely renowned for his fortuitous tales, and this one is no exception, Curtiz injecting plenty of creepy, claustrophobic atmosphere and composition specially attractive thorough performances from Lupino and Robinson.
