The World in His Arms (1952)
I guess every decade has their fair share of stupid movies. In the 1952, The World in His Arms was added to that list. Gregory Peck and Anthony Quinn play opposing sea captains, and while Gregory Peck is trying to negotiate a deal to purchase the land of Alaska—this is a period piece—Ann Blythe, a Russian countess, tries to persuade him to sail her and her grandmother to Alaska from San Francisco. She’s engaged to someone else, then engaged to Gregory Peck, then engaged to the first man again—it all gets rather confusing, and it’s not interesting enough to really care about untangling the mess.
There’s a famous boat battle scene from this movie, but I can’t imagine anyone in modern audiences finding it exciting. The blue-screen is laughable, but maybe in 1952 audiences were fooled by “technology” used in the scene. I was almost put to sleep by this movie, and actually groaned at the corniness of the last line of dialogue. Save your time and watch anything else.
