Ilvoldmovies Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 After watching the movie "The Wake of the Red Witch" with John Wayne and Gail Russell, I thought of one I had seen before that was set in the sailing ship era. The part of the plot that I remember was a girl, I thought was ( Gail Russell )stowed away on a ship the Captain was (John Wayne?) He had given her a shawl, which she was wearing and the closing scene showed her drowned in the hold of the ship with her shawl floating in the water around her. If I recall he was put on trial for her murder? I wonder if I have put parts of two different movies together in one? Maybe one of you movies buffs could help me out. Just one of those small things that bugs me. Thanks so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scsu1975 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 You're welcome. I think you'll enjoy the movie ... it's a typical C.B. DeMille production, with lots of characters and some campy dialogue ... but it is still entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
