TWO YEARS BEFORE THE MAST (Trailer)

Here's the re-release trailer of TWO YEARS BEFORE THE MAST (1946). It's one of my favorite Alan Ladd movies. I think it's a classic, and I wish it were available on DVD. It's strange that the trailers of AL's films hardly ever mention the love stories. Perhaps they took his female audience for granted. "Ladd lashed ..." What a tagline. A NEW YORK TIMES review called AL "a man who has taken enough beatings (in the movies) to satisfy even a Marquis de Sade." No copyright abuse intended, but if the owners mind, the video will be deleted, of course.
Two Years Before the Mast
In 1834, Charles Stewart (Alan Ladd), the spoiled, dissolute son of a shipping magnate, is shanghaied aboard the Pilgrim, one of his father's own ships. He embarks upon a long, hellish sea voyage under the tyrannical rule of Captain Francis Thompson (Howard Da Silva), assisted by his first mate, Amazeen (William Bendix). One of his crewmates is Richard Henry Dana Jr. (Brian Donlevy).
