The main entertainment here is in the bad acting and dialogue, especially Rex Reason as Capt. Seth Parson.  I tuned out before Clark Gable and Sidney Poitier showed up.  (De Carlo, however, portrayed the central character and was then 34 but playing roughly half that.)  The movie is based on the Robert Penn Warren novel, which I assume was not as good as All the King's Men.  Raoul Walsh directed, fourteen years after Action in the North Atlantic.
