Port of Hell (1954)
How could any director in his right mind include some of this movies scenes?
I remember Port of Hell well for the same reasons the previous reviewer cited. The premise that the port of San Pedro California would be a key target to cripple the United States starts it off. It is so ridiculous that it's fun to watch since there are so many nonsensical scenes that are actually shown such as taking a taxi for help versus using the phone and walking not even running up to the house. And when his girl friend opens the door he blurts out totally out of context, 'I love you'. Then for some reason I forget he battles a tug owner who evidently has the only tug available to the port warden for the use of his tug. This is all when an atomic bomb is going to explode in the harbor any minute. The topper was having to get a handicapped person to man the helm. It's very hard to make such bad movie that's so enjoyable like Port of Hell (even named poorly) as San Pedro has a fine port and ship yard),
