a group of sailor experience all sort of event while on the s glencairn . john wayne star in this film a ole and a swedish sailor who have not see his family in over 10 year . it be interest see john wayne in a movie where he be not a cowboy because that what he be mostly know for . the festivity begin when a group of spanish woman board the ship and bring fruit and smuggle rum for the sailor . this show how lonely these sailor become while on board for such an extended period of time . the mood of the movie do change a few time . it change once when the spanish girl come on board and again when they finally reach land and be able to get drunk . the sailor begin act crazy and get drunk very quickly . the spanish girl start resist them and soon a riot break out . sailor begin hit each other and one sailor even take a broken rum bottle and stab a fellow sailor . you can easily tell how bored sailor become because of how they act when the spanish girl cam on board . the officer catch the spanish girl bring rum on the ship and do not pay them . the music play a big role in set the mood in the movie . the music have a lot of string instrument to give it a lonely slow pace feeling . when guy look out at sea and the music be slow and fairly depress . one quote that catch my attention be when a sailor say and when a man go out to sea and he should give up think about shore land do not want him no more . to me i think he be say that there be no point feel sad about not be able to be on land because there be nothing you can do to change where you be . each sailor who survive have to wait just as long a the next man to reach land . this movie exhibit how life a a sailor could change . two sailor and smitty and yank die while on board of glencairn and drisk die at the end when he be aboard amindra and it get torpedoed . you feel bad for the life they live because they go through the same routine for such a long time and they see the same people everyday without see their loved one . to me and it would become really frustrating because i would get frustrated do the same thing and see the same people . the sailor show their boredom by look for conflict . they have suspicion that smitty be a spy and search through his belonging and tie him up . he be falsely accuse after drisk read the letter he receive and realize he be wrong the entire time . soon after a storm hit and kill yank and an air attack take the life of smitty . it be strange how he die because he be on a row boat hang on the side of the ship and and when he get shot and the tarp just cover him and nobody really know when he die . during the air attack and the fighter plane drop bomb that do not hit the ship and but the machine gun do and take the life of smitty . the way he die all by himself be similar to the lonely feelings the sailor often felt . ole and the swedish sailor also express his loneliness when they arrive on land and he tell the woman at the bar about how he hasn not see his family in almost 10 year . he be the only one out of the crew member that be go to board the amindra ship . his drunk shipmate pull him off the ship before it leave and but again one man be leave out of their crew after he be knock unconscious . a sailor at the end of the movie read a headline in the newspaper that read amindra torpedoed and so it end another lonesome sailor die .
