Reap the Wild Wind | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

The film's most interesting element is seeing Wayne cast in a role with unexpectedly dark shadings, a far cry from the spotless heroes he played during this period but a hint at the complex characters he would later essay in The Searchers and Red River.

One of the greatest and most extraordinary movies we have admired from DeMille. [Full Review in Spanish]

The show, on a grand DeMille scale, is technically magnificent and will earn many times its cost at the nation's box offices.

DeMille's epic spectacle has a preposterous plot but the undersea effects are good and so is the acting; it's hard to believe but Ray Milland was then a bigger name than John Wayne, who gets second billing. Susan Hayward is billed below Paulette Godard.
