| | Notes | B/W. Typically strange Welles thriller set mainly at sea. Welles plays the worldly Irishman who pursues the wife of a rich lawyer. The lawyer wears leg braces and uses two canes, devices specified by Welles possibly as symbols of the man's inability to retain such a beautiful wife. Nevertheless a wonderful film and Everett Sloane's performance is powerful. Welles is Welles and Rita was Welles, at the time. From the novel by Sherwood King.
