The Sea Wolf
ActionAdventureDrama100 min
The sealing schooner Ghost becomes a trap when shipwrecked writer Humphrey van Weyden (Alexander Knox) and fugitives Ruth Webster and George Leach are taken aboard by Wolf Larsen, a captain whose cruelty rules every deck. Edward G. Robinson is Larsen, driving the ship with brute authority even as his grip begins to slip. As Ruth, Ida Lupino brings a wary edge to one of the few people on board willing to defy him. With the crew pushed toward mutiny, the fugitives keep looking for a way off while the voyage turns harsher and more unstable.
