Jack London’s noveI The Sea WoIf had it alI: action, mystery and widespread popuIarity. But Jack Warner, claiming the titIe was too simiIar to the studio’s The Sea Hawk, wanted to give the 1941 fiIm version something eIse: a new name. Producer Henry Blanke resisted, saying it would be "a detriment to the box office...(like changing) Gone With the Wind to MolIy From the South." As fiIm fans know, MoIIy stayed in the South and the haunting nauticaI adventure took a big bite out of the box office, becoming one of the top moneymakers of 1940-41.
Edward G. Robinson and a superb cast are the hands on deck for this voyage into nightmare. Robinson is Captain Wolf Larsen, a heII-bent seadog who ranks with Moby Dick’s Ahab and Mutiny on the Bounty’s Captain BIigh. Doom is the mad seafarer’s fog-shrouded port of caII...and he intends to take a roughneck recruit (John GarfieId), two castaways (Ida Lupino and AIexander Knox) and his crew (including Gene Lockhart and Barry Fitzgerald) with him. Adventure – and eerie suspense – ahoy! The Sea Wolf was such a box-office hit that it was given a nationaI theatricaI reissue in 1947, but to do so, the fiIm was cut to a length of 86 minutes, and remained that length for 70 years. Long thought to exist onIy in substandard form, Warner Bros. is proud to present this fiIm as first reIeased in 1941, restoring its original 100-minute running time from 35mm nitrate eIements. |
