www.americanradiohistory.com The "SEA WOLF" Movie-Radio Guide Co-Picture of the Week
BACK in 1900 Jack London wrote a tale of an absolute dictator. Because· he could find no other locale in which he thought an absolute dictator would be tolerated, he set his action upon the sea and titled his now-famous story "The Sea Woll." In the early days of sound the late Milton Sills played the role of Wolf Lar• sen, the part now taken by Edward G.' Robinson. No hero, no villain, no heroine dominates the story. And it is the only film made in which each character has at least one brawl before the fadeout. There are forty-seven fights in all, each of them on the three-masted schooner, which is the principal set. It was released in March. _ CAST "Wolf" Larsen Edward G. Robinson Ruth Webster Ida Lupino George Leach John Garfield Dr. Louie Gene Lockhart Cooky Barry Fitzgerald Humphrey Van Weyden.Alexander Knox Johnson Stanley Ridges Svenson Francis McDonald
