Description: SET SAIL FOR ADVENTURE... AND YVONNE DE CARLO IN HER PRIME!Hurricane Smith (John Ireland) and his marooned sailors escape from a South Seas island by stealing the ship of Capt. Raikes (Emile Meyer) who's come to the island in search of slaves. Smith sails the ship to Australia where he charters it to two individuals who claim to be studying flora and fauna. To fill out his crew, Smith "shanghais" Capt. Raikes who, by this time, has also made his way to Australia. During the course of the voyage, it becomes clear that their passengers are actually in search of a cache of gold that's been hidden on a South Seas island. Smith also seeks this gold, which he considers his own, as does Capt. Raikes. Complicating this 3-way rivalry is a growing shipboard romance between Smith and the beautiful Luana (Yvonne De Carlo). Events reach a violent climax when the treasure-island is finally reached. Fans of swashbuckling buried-treasure stories and 19th-century ships in full-sail rejoice! In addition to the shipboard rivalries, this film packs in such diversions as John Ireland battling a shark, Yvonne de Carlo doing a very entertaining hootchy-kootchy dance, and Lyle Bettger getting ten lashes across his bare back. Some feel that the film suffers a bit because poor John Ireland, despite giving a good performance, simply did not have the right stuff to be a Hollywood beefcake. He is probably best remembered for his supporting performances in some big budgets as "Spartacus" or "55 Days in Peking" or second villains such as the hoodlum in "Party Girl" or the gunfighter in John Sturges western "Gunfight at OK Corral". Still, Hurricane Smith is an entertaining and fast-moving little film that will not disappoint fans of the genre!
