Default Ghost and the Sea Wolf

Ghost.
BTW, the shark shown attacking Cooky was too small to take his leg
off.


That depends, if you judge the size by the fake dorsal fin breaking
the surface then it looks big enough, if you take the two second shot
of a real shark then you are correct

And quite soon afterwards he's shown just fine with the leg tied
off at the stump. Such a traumatic amputation would not be so simple
to treat. He'd likely have died or at least required a long time to
recover.


Yeah, and the Doc's blood tranfusion started by cookie's knife wound
was kinda funny, unless she was going to drink the blood.

But you're worried about who's at the wheel!!!


No... I'm wondering who's tending the sails...no-one.....ever.

Any scenes in Captain's Coragious with one guy at the wheel/tiller?

Yes and two at times, and a working crew, since they used real ships
Curtiz's Artsey fartsey version would not work.

How about Jason and and the Argonauts?


Now that's a show you can expect to have to use your imagination.
The Sea Wolf was not, and suffered from it.
