Kind of a half ass "To Have And Have Not" featuring sluggish pacing from usually good action director Gordon Douglas, flat dialogue (always a turn off in a noir-ish type film like this) and somnambulistic acting from Errol Flynn who looks low energy to the point of seeming physically unwell, at least to my untutored eye. (Googled the film info and sure enough ol Errol was hitting it pretty heavily during shooting). Kind of ironic that the second half features lots of deep sea diving since the whole film feels like it's underwater. Solid C.
