SEA DEVILS is a British-made swashbuckling adventure yarn from experienced Hollywood helmer Raoul Walsh that's set in Napoleonic times and stars Rock Hudson as a loutish smuggler who gets caught up in a spy plot. Although Hudson's tough guy is the nominal hero, all eyes are on Yvonne De Carlo as the voluptuous and fiery femme fatale of the piece, although her role is underwritten. The film offers plentiful action and incident but nonetheless feels like a lesser work, a throwback to the pictures from the 1920s and 1930s rather than anything fresh or now. British film regulars Bryan Forbes, Michael Goodliffe and the grinning, gloating Maxwell Reed play in support.
