Sunday Cinematheque at the Chazen: It’s a Universal Picture

Cast: Walter Huston, Douglass Montgomery, Helen Chandler
Huston is mesmerizing as a temperamental widower fisherman whose new young bride has fallen in love with his sensitive and dominated son. Perhaps Wyler’s first fully-realized film, this riveting, powerfully acted patriarchal drama features screenplay contributions from Huston’s real-life son, John, who was just beginning his own legendary Hollywood career.
