I used to watch this movie in the early sixties in LA when I was a little boy. The above reviews are on point with the comments about it being a bad movie. However I always watched it because of the love story. Dane Clark and Carole Mathews always portrayed real tough customers in their own movies . So to see them interact in this one was a real treat. The old saying about the consequences of a meeting between an irresistible force and a immovable object is played out in human terms with both actor and actress. Of course with all of the clashing and arguing sparks are bound to fly. If I remember they never kiss but she does slap him and I know that he wants to slug her. It was just nice to see adults behaving like school kids when trying to express love for each other. This pattern of hate - love has been a part of my ,modus vivendi, way of living and love for a long time. That probably explains why I like and miss such a terribly bad movie I used to visit San Pedro when I was growing up and I agree that most of the scenes are on the harbor.
