Adventure Roistering sea captain Jonathan Clark, who poaches seal pelts from Russian Alaska, meets and woos Russian countess Marina in 1850 San Francisco. Events separate them, but after an exciting sea race to the Pribilof Islands they meet again; now, both are in danger from the schemes of villainous Prince Semyon.

	Author	Review
United States	Bosley Crowther The New York Times	"A robust show from Gregory Peck (...) The screen never stops quivering and the watcher, submissive to the furore, never has time to spot the story's seams"	POS
United States	Ben Sachs Chicago Reader	"This is no classic, but it's loads of fun, thanks in part to Walsh's brisk pacing and infectious sympathy for rugged, macho types. Walsh was the ideal director for this kind of superproduction"	POS
United States	Variety	"A hearty, salty, action film well-trouped by a good cast headed by Gregory Peck."	POS
