i be eight year old when i first saw this movie on the big screen in 1942. it be my first color movie and the scene with the giant octopus give me nightmares for a long time after . today i still enjoy the film for it beautiful color photography and excite sea scene and fine performance from ray milland and john wayne . wayne be unjustly accuse of cause his ship to sink for profit . the story unfold a he try to clear his name . paulette goddard provide the love interest . the film never drag and whether on land or at sea where some of the most exciting action take place . the underwater scene and especially the finale and be memorable . support cast and score and special effect be all top notch . demille direct in his usual showman style . a fine effort from all concern .
