Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Why WHINE about no German Accents?
I have to say, this movie is wonderful and has wonderful people in it. John Wayne was a brilliant actor, and is so in this movie.
The fact he's a German who is vehemently anti-Nazi is a calling to people in coutries that fall under the same circumstances as Germany under Hitler that they don't have to take it. I think many people miss this point and say "oh, isn't it nice there are always nice people on both sides...". Yes, there's that too, but the other point should be taken as well. ... Read More
Rating: - Classic 'Truth Will Vindicate' Movie
This is a classic `Man wrongfully accused' movie where he is eventually vindicated by the truth finally coming out and revealed to the world. Set in the dark times of WWII John Wayne is a classic hero - but this time on the OTHER side - showing that we can find hero's and heroic acts on BOTH sides of any conflict.
Rating: - John Wayne at Sea
As usual, John Wayne plays the strong type with a sense of duty to his country if not it's cause. Even though Wayne is not a Nazi, he feels duty bound to get his German steamer home. The characters are rich and the story line is good. A must see for any Wayne fan or action fan.
Rating:  - As a naval melodrama, the film is good entertainment!
The film's plot, as the titles points out, used one of the most powerful standby of a motion picture medium - the chase...
Wayne plays an anti-Nazi German sea captain, opposed to the new regime, but as a loyal citizen he feels he must save his ship from destruction...
At the outbreak of World War II, just before news reaches Australia that the Nazi armies have moved into Poland, Wayne slips his steamer - a rusty old 5,000-ton freighter named the Ergenstrasse - out of Sydney ... Read More
Rating: - Enthralling WWII Maritime Adventure
I found this to be one of John Wayne's more interesting and complex roles. In fact the entire film is a complex vortex of emotions and loyalties. As unusual as it seems to have John Wayne playing Captain Karl Erlich of a German cargo ship escaping Australia at the outbreak of WWII, this film works convincingly and quite admirably. Wayne as Captain Erlich is not a Nazi but just a man wanting to return his ship and crew home safely to Germany. Playing his counterpart and conscience throughout is David Farrar ... Read More
