the schooner, the better, 7 February 2004
7/10
Author: goblinhairedguy from Montreal

Not at all cinematic, and rather stiffly dramatic, but a fascinating look at times past and changing mores. There's plenty of ripe, humorous seafaring dialogue, some hilarious comic cutaways about sea life and hypocritical moralism, and plenty of unverbalized, precode references to opium addiction and other vices. Anna May Wong has one of her finest roles, showing more dignity in her character than the hypocritical churchgoers, and Elizabeth Allan is a romantic ideal as always.
