Cecil B. DeMille's GREATEST TRIUMPH! OUT-THRILLS ALL OTHER SCREEN SPECTACLES!
The Florida Keys in 1840, where the implacable hurricanes of the Caribbean scream, where the salvagers of Key West, like the intrepid and beautiful Loxi Claiborne and her crew, reap, aboard frail schooners, the harvest of the wild wind, facing the shark teeth of the reefs to rescue the sailors and the cargo from the shipwrecks caused by the scavengers of the sea.

Reviews
The last twenty minutes or so go some way to redeeming this otherwise rather meandering romantic drama that has a cast that looks good on paper but is much less effective on screen. John Wayne ("Jack Stuart") is the captain who has just lost his ship after it was wrecked on a dangerous reef by men allegedly working for Raymond Massey ("King Cutler"). His boss Walter Hampden ("Commodore Devereaux")
Ripping Yarns! Reap the Wild Wind is directed by Cecil B. DeMille and is adapted collectively to screenplay by Alan Le May, Charles Bennett and Jesse Lasky Jr. from a Saturday Evening Post story written by Thelma Strabel. It stars John Wayne, Ray Milland, Paulette Goddard, Raymond Massey, Robert Preston, Susan Hayward and Lynne Overman. Music is by Victor Young and cinematography is shared bet
