In this disappointing Universal adventure, James Stewart and Dan Duryea play business partners who drill for oil off the Louisiana coast and threaten the local shrimp industry. "They wanted a picture with Jimmy Stewart and we concocted one," Stewart said later of this heavily contrived effort that isn't a patch on the great series of westerns he made with the same director, Anthony Mann. It's the sort of movie that's made by numbers: a bit of action, a bit of romance, a bit of capitalist conflict, and when that gets monotonous the weather turns bad.
