Out of all of Lewton’s productions, this could have the strongest sense of character. Doesn’t have much of the iconic and utterly beautiful images RKO’s works are famous for (even if the sight of Wade’s shadow moving with the rocking of the boat is orgasmic), but Dix’s Captain Stone is just perfectly written.

yk what i actually really liked this movie, i liked the overall story, and the mute was hilarious- the way he had to make sure the audience knew he was a mute (as if we couldn’t get that by seeing that he can’t speak). it has some good morals and i really liked how they explored the meaning of authority

this movie was just way better than it had to be
