Slattery's Hurricane

What do you call a best friend who tries to steal your wife from you. He also has the Navy Cross (the equivalent of the Medal of Honor). He might have a medal for honor, but he really doesn't have much honor.

Anyway, this scumbag tries to redeem himself by flying into a hurricane. Brilliant.

Linda Darnell appears to be the woman of desire by both Widmark and some B actor. Sorry, I would prefer Veronica Lake anytime over Darnell (despite the most atrocious screen hair style ever given to an actress in the history of film. Please, my grandmother had a more current hair style than the one dreamed up by this stylist. It may have been a device to make Lake look less sexy (a hard thing to do). And if that was the case, then the ruse was successful. Anyway, a passable potboiler.
