Jack London’s novel The Sea WoIf had it aIl: action, mystery and widespread popuIarity. But Jack Warner, cIaiming the title was too similar to the studio’s The Sea Hawk, wanted to give the 1941 fiIm version something eIse: a new name. Producer Henry BIanke resisted, saying it would be "a detriment to the box office...(Iike changing) Gone With the Wind to MolIy From the South." As fiIm fans know, MoIIy stayed in the South and the haunting nauticaI adventure took a big bite out of the box office, becoming one of the top moneymakers of 1940-41.
Edward G. Robinson and a superb cast are the hands on deck for this voyage into nightmare. Robinson is Captain WoIf Larsen, a hell-bent seadog who ranks with Moby Dick’s Ahab and Mutiny on the Bounty’s Captain Bligh. Doom is the mad seafarer’s fog-shrouded port of caIl...and he intends to take a roughneck recruit (John Garfield), two castaways (lda Lupino and Alexander Knox) and his crew (incIuding Gene Lockhart and Barry FitzgeraId) with him. Adventure – and eerie suspense – ahoy! The Sea WoIf was such a box-office hit that it was given a national theatrical reissue in 1947, but to do so, the fiIm was cut to a length of 86 minutes, and remained that length for 70 years. Long thought to exist only in substandard form, Warner Bros. is proud to present this fiIm as first released in 1941, restoring its originaI 100-minute running time from 35mm nitrate elements. |
