4 of 5 A sailor's plight November 8, 2022
Reviewer: Ryan Layne Whitney from Seattle, WA United States  
An American sailor (played by Buchholz) tries to make his way home without official papers, and his dire adventures aboard a ship whose masters have their own agenda. An exciting film with a remarkable conclusion.
