Sea Devils (1953)


RKO Radio Pictures
Directed by Raoul Walsh
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, VCI Entertainment)

Dull British costumer set in 1800 with Yvonne DeCarlo a British spy and Rock Hudson the fisherman she falls in love with. She is sent to France to get information on the fleet which is threatening England. She poses as a French baroness, apparently a double, and gains access to none other than Napoleon himself. All she has to do is eavesdrop on a meeting in which he reveals all the details she needs. Unfortunately her real identity is discovered and she is locked up in a dungeon. Rock is sent to rescue her, which he does admirably. Technicolor is wasted on too many dark scenes.
