Filming took place in southern California aboard the Chios, Greece-registered SS IGOR (originally the SS PHILIP C. SHERA), a World War II Liberty Ship owned by the Los and Pezas shipowning families. Edwin Rumill (James Mason) is the former first mate of a luxury ocean liner who jumps at the opportunity to take full command of a vessel. Unfortunately, the New Zealand-harbored SS Berwind isn't exactly the luxury ocean liner he dreamed of commanding—it is a utilitarian freighter whose captain has recently died. His crew is also a disappointment, often ill-tempered with their own plans for the ship's fate: two members of the crew, Leroy Martin (Stuart Whitman) and Henry Scott (Broderick Crawford) have concoted a scheme to murder the ship's crew and Rumill and sell the ship for salvage to the highest bidder, expecting to earn around a million dollars. LESS
