First National Pictures
Directed by Howard Hawks
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
Edward G. Robinson gives a fine performance as a Portuguese fisherman who loses his hand to a shark. He gets a hook to replace it and wears a large, garish earring. He has trouble getting women, but the daughter of one of his crew marries him out of gratitude and pity. Unfortunately she falls in love with his best man. Location filming helps this melodrama along, though I could have done without the graphic shark shooting and fishing scenes.
