    Storyline

    • Trivia
      When Iscah places Millie on top of a stump of a young cypress tree that had been cut down, there is a webbed foot that appears out of the water beside an alligator's head. The accurate three-fingered claw (The minimal alligator thumb cannot be seen.) appears to be connected to the alligator beside it. Though, due to the mobility of an alligator and their very short legs, it could not be of the alligator in the water. Based upon the movement of the alligators in the various scenes, real and fake alligators are used. The fake gators are in scenes with the actress and actor. At that time, or now, it is not hard to get alligator head and hide in the area of the Jacksonville, Florida, movie studios, near where this film was shot.
    • Quotes

    Unremarkable
    Some pretty cool shooting on location in the swamps of Georgia, which director King Vidor pushed for and which was a big milestone for Hollywood, and some nice footage at sea as well. Unfortunately, it's not very remarkable otherwise. The story is weak, the pace is slow, and the cast has no star appeal. The characters in the deep South are also very cartoonish. I liked the scene where the widower (Frank Mayo) is thinking of the young woman (Virginia Valli), and she comes to him in an overlay, and it's probably the film's best, much better than the long, drawn-out brawl.

    Favorite intertitle: "Mystery - the insidious scents of earth - the veiled lure of sex - Life's traps were set with just such treacheries!-"
