Robert Taylor and Stewart Granger are the brothers Shore, Taylor good, Granger bad. Stewart Granger has been lost at sea, presumed dead. Taylor marries Granger's sweetheart, Ann Blyth, and takes her with him on the next whaling voyage. Mind you these voyages last two to three years sometimes.
Well call me an oldfashioned romantic, but it seems like you marry the girl do the honeymoon thing for a month or so and THEN go to sea. Granted that Ann is a New Bedford girl and has been brought up in that culture, but yeeeeesh.
Of course Granger's found on the voyage and with Blyth along and Granger wanting to go after some pearls he left behind in the lagoon of a very unfriendly native island, this causes all kinds of complications. If you're interested, buy or rent the video.
Robert Taylor was a most agreeable employee at MGM known for accepting everything they offered him in parts. Stewart Granger also accepted a lot of parts he didn't want to, but that was because wife Jean Simmons could fight for roles she wanted. Either way both these guys got took on this one.
This was also the final film of Lewis Stone who may have appeared in more MGM films than anyone else. Maybe Lionel Barrymore is the only other player that could contest that. He should have gone out on something better.
