An American slave captain decides to become respectable but finds a mutiny on his hands.
Part of our history but the idea of slave ships is deeply troubling. This is quite well done, plenty of action and the scenes with the slaves, albeit brief, are the most effective. Mickey Rooney steals the show with a high energy role as a cabin boy. Some of the scenes were a little dark, but more than anything else, this was a thought-provoking movie. 5/10
