I really enjoyed the cast-Harlow, Beery, Gable, Benchley, Hattie, Russell. This was filled w/ familiar faces, some of whom-Gable, Harlow and Beery who I've not seen as much of as I should. Beery esp. reminded me of Victor MacLaglen, they should have played siblings sometime, it woulda worked.
The plot-well you know it already. Gable is the sea captain, Russell is his old flame, Harlow is the tarnished 'tough dame/floozy' he's seeing, Beery is in cahoots w/ Malay pirates to take the gold on board in the Steam-roller, etc etc.
Best part is the steam-roller to-ing and fro-ing during the storm, quite exciting and well done. You also hadda like the Human-bomb turn of Lewis Stone (Andy Hardy's dad), redeeming himself and saving the day at the cost of his life.
Overall it's worth watching, though it's def. a period piece.
