Old Ironsides (Paramount, 1926) James Cruze directs Wallace Beery and George Bancroft in this epic adventure. Esther Ralston and Charles Farrell co-star. Look for Boris Karloff in a small role as a Saracen guard. The film includes everything from outsized sea battles to a daring rescue from the clutches of the lustful pirates. A life-sized replica of “Old Ironsides” (aka the “Constitution”) was built for the film; it remained a useful piece of bric-a-brac for many a subsequent Paramount seafaring epic. 11-reel silent film is set at the time of Stephen Decatur’s defeat of the Barbary pirates in Tripoli.

The World in His Arms (Universal International, 1952) movie poster Starring Gregory Peck, Anthony Quinn, Ann Blyth, John McIntire, Carl Esmond, Andrea King, Eugenie Leontovich, Hans Conried, Rhys Williams, Sig Ruman, Gregory Gaye, Bill Radovich, Bryan Forbes, and Henry Kulky. Directed by Raoul Walsh. Gregory Peck and Anthony Quinn play two seal-hunting rivals in this adventure film set in the days when Alaska was a Russian territory. Peck is adventuring seafarer Jonathan Clark, who falls in love with Russian Countess Marina Selanova (Ann Blyth) while the countess is in San Francisco fleeing an arranged marriage to the vile Prince Semyon (Carl Esmond). The Countess wants to hire a ship to take her to Sitka, AK, where her uncle, General Ivan Vorashilov (Sig Rumann), is governor. Portugee (Quinn) can’t raise money for the voyage, so the countess agrees to sail with Clark, and the two quickly fall in love. But Prince Semyon sails into San Francisco just as Clark and the Countess are about to be wed, and the prince abducts her and takes her to Alaska, threatening to kill her uncle if she doesn’t marry him. Clark and Portugee then agree to race to Alaska, with the winner getting the other’s ship and the seal catch. Clark’s boat wins the race, but the Russians arrest both the men as seal poachers. Countess Marina agrees to marry Semyon if he will order the seal hunters released.  (allmovie)
