Roistering sea captain Jonathan Clark, who poaches seal pelts from Russian Alaska, meets and woos Russian countess Marina in 1850 San Francisco. Events separate them, but after an exciting sea race to the Pribilof Islands they meet again; now, both are in danger from the schemes of villainous Prince Semyon. (Bounty Films)

Gregory Peck and Anthony Quinn are the stars of this film, and let's not kid ourselves, their rivalry, albeit minimal, is the highlight of the movie, along with its adventurous tone. The fact that everything else serves as a backdrop to the main romantic storyline is another matter altogether. But outside that plotline, the film works well.
