«|iOM£ or BETTER
VALUES”
NORTH WILKESBORO, N. C.
While acting honors go to the
trio of stars, Ray Milland, Pau-
le'te Goddard and John Wayne,
the main credit must go to I»e-
Millc himself. Tt bears his unmis
takable “touch”, which only the
Old Master himself is able to im-
part ' o a picturf>.
“Reap the Wild Wind” is a tale
told in bold, heroic strokes of
America’s fight to rid the Florida
Keys of pinatical wreckers who
preyed on the lifeline of her wind
jammer merchant marine in ’he
lS40’e. DeMille’s 66th picture
under the Paramount tanner, the
present truly great firm, needs
make no obeisance to any of .'S
predecessors, I’ outstrips them
all for grandeur of conception,
startlingly beautiful photogn:pb>
and excellence of story, it’s great
drama any wry you look at it.
The stand-out sequence in thi-
wash-buckling saga of the sea
comes when Riiy Milland and
Wayne, in an old wreck on the
bottom of the Caribbean, engage
in a nightmarish battle with a
giant squid. If you’re heart does
not skip a heat or two on this one
you'd better take some vitamin
pills and get ourself back to nor
mal. This revie-wer, for one, did
a bit of gasping as the relentless
fight progressed.
In the star-studded supporting
uast Raymond Massey plays the
heavy villain. King Cutler, chief
of the -wreckers. Lynne Over-
ma portrays his mortal enemy.
Robert Preston. Susan Hayward.
Charles Bickford, Martha O’Dris
coll, Walter Hampden, Janet
Beecher and Loui-e Beavers do
magnificently by their appointed
roles. Hundreds of others ap
pear In lesser roles. The filr
play was -written ^ Alan LeMay.
