Product Description
Starring Gary Cooper & Charlton Heston. In the English Channel John Sands, captain of a small rescue ship, finds the freighter Mary Deare drifting. Although there's only a little fire, the whole crew seems to have left the ship. John's already looking forward to a large salvage fee, but then he finds first officer Gerald Patch still on board, who sends him away. Although he doesn't understand yet what happened on the Mary Deere, Sands allows Patch to persuade him not to talk about what he saw on board and to drag out the official investigation of the incident. Spanish import, plays in English with optional (removeable) subtitles.

A hidden gem of a thriller set in the 50s-early 60s, of a captain embodied by Gary Cooper with a drink problem who runs his ship aground in a heavy storm. During the ensuing trial the crew vilifies him for being drunk, reckless and incompetent. But not everything is as it seems, as the first quite unlikeable Gary Cooper becomes the main protagonist to prove his innocence and to reveal the true reason for his scuttling the boat, thus redeeming himself, helped along the way by Charlton Heston, who was at the beginning more pursuing Gary Cooper then the truth.
A nice thriller with lots twists and turns which should take up space in your 60's thriller collection and will keep you hanging on to find out what really happened that stormy night.
