Reap the Wild Wind**    

(US 1941)                  

Two seamen tackling the threat of pirate wreckers on the Florida Keys compete for the attention of a feisty Southern Belle.
Entertaining seabound variation on Gone with the Wind, not entirely satisfying in its plot, but forceful with scarcely a dull moment, and a melodramatic courtroom climax and an even more improbable giant squid finale.
