The Sea Wolf (Uncut)

Jack London's novel The Sea Wolf had it all: action, mystery and widespread popularity. But Jack Warner, claiming the title was too similar to the studio's The Sea Hawk, wanted to give the 1941 film version something else: a new name. Producer Henry Blanke resisted, saying it would be a detriment to the box office. As film fans know, the haunting nautical adventure became one of the top moneymakers of 1940-41. This film features Edward G. Robinson as Captain Wolf Larsen, a hell-bent seadog who ranks with Moby Dick's Ahab and Mutiny on the Bounty's Captain Bligh. The Sea Wolf was a box-office hit that was given a national theatrical reissue in 1947, restoring its original running time from 35mm nitrate elements.
