John Wayne stars as a 19th-century sea captain out for revenge against a wealthy shipping magnate in this interesting and unlikely 1948 offering from Republic Pictures. Wayne plays the wronged Captain Ralls with a convincing bitterness that foreshadows his later work in the John Ford classic The Searchers, and his grim portrayal of Ralls hits a high point when Ralls purposely wrecks his enemy's prize treasure ship. The painfully beautiful Gail Russell costarred with Wayne only the year before in The Angel and the Badman and delivers a memorable performance as the tragic Angelique. Gig Young also stands out as a crewman who eventually learns the truth about Ralls. Wake of the Red Witch shares similarities in both character and climax to an earlier Wayne picture, C.B. DeMille's Reap the Wild Wind, but this film has a more direct approach in exploring the complex motivations of its characters. --Mark Savary

I've been a fan of John Wayne for some time,but,had never seen this film before.I wasn't disappointed.It really is superb.
Old school action film with Wayne at his brooding dark-side best.Gail Russell gives a very demure performance as Angelique-but of course the real star is the Red Witch.
This film stands out on its own.....great love story.Well worth buying.

A marvel of screen photography ,a story line filled with diverions and sub plots. John Waynes performance was as exciting as allways. A true nail bitting watch.
Delivery by Replay International, was excellent, I ordered it yesterday afternoon and I got it this morning. Well done to that company,it is by far the quickest response I have ever had.The film is a corker,really really good.One you must watch,
