All drama is not staged by man, what earthly showman can match the suspense of a storm at sea, of a hurricane tossing trees like matches or the blinding flash of a lightening bolt. Nature on the loose has a terrible power and a terrible beauty. It is some of this that producer Cecil B De Mille tried to capture on the screen in Reap The Wild Wind. This powerful love and adventure story adapted from the Saturday Evening Post novel is also a saga of man’s unending contest with the forces of nature.
