The film opens with a spectacular shipwreck, after which it goes into East:- a tense, poignant recital of a man's battle with his conscience. And, while the story is important, it is the actor's splendid charac-| terisation that will be remember- ed.

While the dramatic burden falls! on the shoulders of Connolly, the remainder of an outstanding caat lends invaluable support. This includes Robert Young, Doria Kenyon, Hobat Bosworth, Gilbert Emery, Jack Mulhall, Mary Carr, Rollo Lloyd Henry Kolker and Scotty Beckett.
