Apollo Guide - 6/10 by Dan JardineSets up fascinating tensions between people and ways of looking at the world, but ultimately backs away from any kind of meaningful examination of them.

Production Dates: late September to mid-November 1952 Filmed in 1.37 to 1 aspect ratio Released in 1.85 to 1 widescreen aspect ratio The film marked Universal's first use of stereophonic sound, which at the time was presentable only in select theaters. Some contemporary reviewers complained that the sound, with its use of three speakers, was loud and distracting. Originally planned to be photographed in 3-D Most of the picture was shot in Morgan City, LA, and some scenes were shot in New Orleans and on an oil-drilling barge thirty miles out in the Gulf of Mexico While filming scenes on location in Louisiana, Dan Duryea slipped and fell from the roof of a tugboat (which appears throughout the film). He suffered a broken rib, contusion and bruises, but was able to continue filming after a day or two of rest The film is available as a standalone on VHS. Included in the James Stewart: Screen Legend Collection DVD box set (1.33:1 aspect ratio) 'The Top Box Office Hits of 1953', Variety, January 13, 1954 2.Jump up ^ Oct. 17, 1952 Article from Nevada State Journal man this is such a brilliant movie 2 watch, its got a great cast throughout this movie....man this is such a fantastic classics movie 2 watch, I think that this is such a really well written/acted/directed movie 2 watch, it is such a fantastic movie 2 watch with a great cast throughout this movie.....man some of the scenes throughout this movie were really funny 2 watch, but I think that this is such a really powerful drama movie 2 watch its got a great cast throughout this movie man this is such a highly entertaining movie 2 watch, its got a great cast throughout this movie it is such a fantastic movie 2 watch, with a brilliant cast throughout this movie....its got good fight scenes throughout this movie.....WARNING THIS MOVIE COTAINS STROBE LIGHTNING EFFECTS THROUGHOUT SOME SCENES THROUGHOUT THIS MOVIE......man this is such a fantastic movie 2 watch, it is such a classics movie 2 watch it is such a brilliant movie 2 watch with a great cast throughout this movie....its got a good soundtrack throughout this movie.....man this is such a classics movie 2 watch, with a great cast throughout this movie......
User Review - 8/10 by Emily BA good story about the early days of off shore oil drilling
User Review - 6/10 by Scott Ra thriller that isn't so thrilling; a romance that isn't so romantic; a social drama that isn't too dramatic. Yet with Stewart, it is still enjoyable
User Review - 6/10 by Nick SThere isn't really a great story here to tell. All the fishermen seem to be foreign old fashioned steroetypes stopping progress as personified by the all american Stewart. But Stewart is always reliable.
User Review - 6/10 by Raelene SSlightly formulaic, but the theme is a little bit different, certainly in Stewart's back catalogue at least.
User Review - 6/10 by Paul CAnother collaboration between Stewart/Mann but a lesser known effort. Featuring a pro-oil drilling stance and making the local fishermen look like petulant, opinionated fools, this is a little hard to swallow - but after a tragic event the pay-off is one that makes all parties happy. Stewart is driven and sometimes dislikeable (as he often was in the Mann-helmed movies) but ultimately decent enough to win the heart of the local love interest.
User Review - 6/10 by Ashley Ha thriller that isn't so thrilling; a romance that isn't so romantic; a social drama that isn't too dramatic. Yet with Stewart, it is still enjoyable
