All the Brothers Were Valiant
US (1953): Adventure
Remake of the 1923 Lon Chaney film by MGM, and based on the novel by Ben Ames Williams. Sea-faring saga of two brothers (Robert Taylor, Stewart Granger) and the woman they both love. Set against South Pacific islands, this love triangle pits the good brother against the bad as they squabble over Ann Blyth and a bag of pearls on the floor of a lagoon; the bad boy redeems himself, however, by helping fend off a mutiny. Richard Thorpe directs a screenplay by Harry Brown. Supporting cast includes Betta St. John, Keenan Wynn, James Whitmore, Kurt Kaznar and Lewis Stone. (Ed Lorusso, IMDb)
