Ghost and the Sea Wolf

No dumbass the movie was cool. Yet it lacked a good director with any nautical knowledge. The Sea Wolf by Curtiz remains the finest adaptation of the story, I guess for you lubber types it's easy to get past the fact one person is sailing and manning watches on a 100+ ft clipper ship, and that the entire flik is lacking any actual working the ship underway (yet the whole story is underway). That and the cheap stage prop of a ship destroys the story for anyone with any nautical knowledge. Yes Rob "Nautical Texture" was key to this story. Unlike you some people who watch stories of a ships Captain and crew like a bit of "Nautical Texture" in that type of story. I know for a director and Captain of your quality it's a small detail that you would easily overlook. Joe RB 35s5 NY |
