Plot
Captain Stone's newly recruited officer, Tom Merriam, idolizes his senior who treats him like a friend. But when a couple of his crew members die mysteriously, Tom starts doubting Stone's authority.
Sinekatalog’s take
A tense wartime-era thriller at sea in which a young officer begins to suspect his admired captain after mysterious deaths. It builds dread through suspicion and confined spaces rather than gore. A compact, atmospheric mystery that old-Hollywood fans might savor.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
