When sea captain John Wayne crashes and sinks his own ship, no one knows why. His first mate, Gig Young, is a loyal friend and follows him to his next job: working on a little fishing boat. It turns out Duke has had a master plan in mind for years, and all his mistakes have really been steps along the path. Cue the flashbacks.
It might sound a little boring to you, but Wake of the Red Witch is very exciting. A tense period piece with grudges, lost loves, and revenge schemes is always interesting to me, and the setting of a wild and stormy sea makes it all the more captivating. Director Edward Ludwig had his hands full and delivered wonderfully. The special effects and underwater scenes will make audiences wonder how it was filmed without technology. I've seen this movie a couple of times, and it still awes me. If you're looking for a cross between The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, Down to the Sea in Ships, and Reap the Wild Wind, you've found it.
