CAST OF ALL TIME GREATEST !, 24 June 2003
10/10
Author: whpratt1 from United States

This is a film you can view over and over again, a great 1953 film with a great cast of GIANTS in the film industry with great acting by Gilbert Roland, J. Carrol Nash, Terry Moore( was married to the late Howard Hughes), Richard Boone and Peter Graves. Enjoyed the film location of Tarpon Springs, Fla., along the Sponge Docks where the Greeks have a historical heritage. Robert Wagner was just starting out in the film business and becoming a super star for the early 1950's and beyond, and his dark hair in this picture changed his appearance, however, his voice gives him away. There is lots of innocent 1950's love scenes and plenty of drama and excitement to keep you in your seats. This is a wonderful film Classic for all generations to view and enjoy over and over again!
