Sinopsis: Dos náufragos fugitivos de la justicia -una asustada mujer y un joven y sensible novelista- son recogidos en el mar por el capitán Wolf Larsen, un tirano que gobierna su barco como si fuera un dictador y que considera que la piedad es un signo de debilidad. Con el paso del tiempo los náufragos se dan cuenta de que en realidad son presos del capitán (FILMAFFINITY).
AMG Sinopsis: The fifth film version of Jack London's The Sea Wolf stars Edward G. Robinson as "premature fascist" Wolf Larsen. The captain of the scavenger ship Ghost, Larsen is a heartless tyrant who can tolerate no sign of weakness in anyone. "Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven" is Larsen's philosophy (borrowed from the character of Satan in Milton's Paradise Lost), and accordingly he reigns over his hellish vessel in true satanic fashion. Idealistic writer Humphrey Van Weyden (Alexander Knox) and fugitive from justice Ruth Webster (Ida Lupino) are picked up by the Ghost when their ferryboat capsizes. Realizing that their chances of getting off the boat alive are nil, Van Weyden and Ruth conspire with embittered cabin boy Leach (John Garfield) to escape. They drift in a small open boat for days, only to return to the Ghost, which has apparently been scuttled by the mutinous crew. Larsen has gone blind, but refuses to allow his crew to learn this fact, forcing Van Weyden at gunpoint to perpetuate the illusion that Larsen can still see. Ultimately, the Ghost sinks beneath the waves, carrying Larsen and Van Weyden to their doom ("This is the end of Superman!" cries Van Weyden as the ocean envelops him); Ruth and Leach manage to save themselves, rowing toward the safety of a nearby island -- and hopefully escaping to a new life. The 1941 Sea Wolf would not be the last cinematic adaptation of London's novel; multiple versions have since been produced for both film and television.
AMG Review: Seafaring adventure movies rarely come any better than this muscular adaptation of The Sea Wolf. The story has been filmed numerous times, and it's easy to see why: it has all the basic elements of a good tragedy plus the added appeal of an oceanic setting and opportunities for meditations on the nature of good and evil in man. If that last part sounds like heavy going, it's not; in Robert Rossen's expert screenplay, the moral arguments are among the most exciting moments in the movie. Rossen knows exactly how to highlight and phrase the dissertations on morality so that they create sparks and fire, but don't become overblown; the result is a screenplay that's all lean, no fat, but that doesn't feel rushed or skimpy. Of equal importance, Rossen (with more than able assistance from Jack London's original book) has created in Wolf Larsen the kind of towering, repugnant but fascinating character that makes an indelible impression on viewers and stays with them for weeks after. As Larsen, Edward G. Robinson gives an unforgettable performance, one of the finest of his many remarkable performances. Brooding, evil, insecure, frightened -- Robinson captures every facet of this terrible character, never more effectively than when Larsen is pretending kindness in order to set a victim up for a cruel joke. With Robinson, there's no clue that the kindness is an act until the very last minute, when he delivers his devastating blows. The rest of the cast is also top-notch, from Ida Lupino's tough but tender escapee to Barry Fitzgerald's smarmy Cooky, and Michael Curtiz deserves special praise for his spot-on direction, which never makes a false step and which creates a film that positively drips with atmosphere while never stinting for one second on the drama. The Sea Wolf has some minor flaws, but the film is so strong that they barely even register.
