User Review - 10/10 by Anna NIf you love the duke, try watching him as not a western hero, but as the greatest sea captain ever set in the pirate era!
User Review - 10/10 by jay nOutstanding movie John Wayne is my family favorite actor
User Review - 10/10 by DAVID MPERFECT MOVIE FOR THOSE OF US WHO ARE HOPELESS ROMANTICS
User Review - 8/10 by Will BJohn Wayne is great in this classic. He add's a bitterness to his role that is very similiar to his character in the Searchers. Its not the usual John Wayne movie. This is the begining of that John Wayne provado that would be present in everything that came after. Interesting story, interesting characters... they dont make em' like this anymore! Another John Wayne classic
User Review - 8/10 by Jeff Zclassic swahsbuckler! Got to love the scenes of Wayne fighting the octopus
User Review - 8/10 by Bruce BThis is an outstanding early John Wayne Film. Another early days at sea movie. When I first saw the title cover I thought maybe this was the same movie as Reap The Wind but I was wrong so wrong. This movie out does Reap the Wind by 10 fold. John Wayne is a sea captain who scuttles the Red Witch because of the cargo which is 5 million dollars worth of gold in 1948 so imagine the price today. The man he stole the gold from wants it back so this makes for a very exciting movie. 4 stars for this old Black and White.
User Review - 8/10 by Blake PWow, a lot better than I thought! Ralls (Wayne) is a tough captain of the mysterious ship, The Red Witch. When he sinks it, a mate (Young) wants to know why. He finds the man responsible, Ralls follows, and then he falls in love with this guys girl, Angelique (Russell). Ralls and Angelique almost get to the point of marriage, but her fiancee ends it with tragedy. But even without her, Ralls has to win the gold back he lost when he sunk the Red Witch-- can he do it? "Wake of the Red Witch" was something that I expected to be a dud. When people talk about John Wayne, I never hear of this, rather "The Shootist" or "The Searchers". When I finally watched it, I felt like it should be well known. It has a very fun, easy plot and Russell and Wayne's chemistry is very good after the previous "Angel and the Badman". Russell is an exceptional actress and reminds me a lot of another unknown Ella Raines. What's probably the most impressive thing about this movie is its underwater photography. Much of the plot depended on it, and they somehow made it look realistic, full of action, and beautiful. Nice thing to see. "Wake of the Red Witch" is pretty good, so check it out!
User Review - 8/10 by Anthony SOne of the better early Duke movies and he wasn't a cowboy or a war hero.
User Review - 6/10 by Wizard WJohn Wayne stars as a 19th-century sea captain. When shipping magnate Mayrant Sidneye (Luther Adler) steals the beautiful Angelique Desaix (Gail Russell) from him, a bitter sea skipper (John Wayne) swears revenge on his rival. Now, he's determined to keep the cargo of gold aboard his ship, the Red Witch, all to himself -- and win Angelique back in the process.
User Review - 6/10 by court cIts Kind of sad and John Wayne just isnt a very good captin. Hes a better cowboy.
