Director:

 Henry Hathaway

Writers:

 Grover Jones (screen play)

Stars:

Produced by Paramount Pictures SOULS AT SEA is one of the great seafaring stories of Hollywood's Golden Age. George Raft and Gary Cooper are well cast as buddies on the seas, fighting the slave trade. There's a sinking ship climax and a court drama where Cooper is accused of wanton murder in rescuing some but not all of the survivors. Good solid performances and an absorbing, thoughtful film. ★★★
