Reap The Wild Wind (1942) **

Giant squids, corral reefs, hurricanes, courtroom antics, Southern belles, slaves and castaways in this over-the-top Cecil B. DeMille's melodrama starring Paulette Goddard as a bargain-basement Scarlett O'Hara, John Wayne as a Rhett Butler's wannabe and Hattie McDaniel reprising exactly the same role as in "Gone With The Wind".
