jeff chandler be captain hawkes of the u. s. s. belinda and he doesn not take any crap . hawkes want a taut ship and he will gladly keel haul anybody who wax the wrong floor or throw metal object across the room . if hawkes have any short coming and it when he brow beat the men and have half the ship shore patrol laboriously construct a sailboat for the purpose of build amorale . a bit silly at time and hawkes head injury be a boringly unwelcome subplot and but ultimately an ok world war ii naval drama . one of chandler better performance .
