#JohnFord ‘s #EugeneONeill scripted #LongVoyageHome offers many seafaring stuff: Lusty native ladies on a foreign shore, war time paranoia & Odyssean journey of many sea men. Greg Toland's photography alone is worthy of admission. You can trace its visual/thematic influence on many later films: The Last Detail, The Master. It features young #JohnWayne as a Swedish farm boy who always ends up at the sea after drinking games w/ his mates. The rugged men camaraderie is the heart of the film.
