one of ford better ( and less know ) film and notable for the restraint exercise towards the character and story . it be about a ship travel through dangerous water to bring war supply to besiege england and and center on the conflict and dream and suffering of the sailor who inhabit the ship . wayne do a good job a the big swede and mostly by not talk much . ward bond do a great job with his death scene . it be cool how ford allow the audience to become more and more annoyed and frustrate a the situation at the film climax reach it conclusion . not market with the overbear sentiment that hobble so much of ford output ( imho ) .
