The best I can say, is it's okay but nothing special. Despite all the talented actors (Gregory Peck, Ann Blyth, Anthony Quinn, John McIntire), and some exciting nautical scenes (battles and storms at sea) and close-ups of seals (including an albino one) along with a statement for animal rights, there just wasn't enough to the movie, and what there was tended to be too over the top, like the (one too many) fight scenes, and an unbelievable romance between Ann (Russian royalty) and Gregory (captain from Boston with a reputation) that had no chemistry at all.
If you skip this one, it's no big deal.
