Yes, the movie is heavily cliched, and the love-triangle story is awful. But the dynamic between the Chief and the Steward is fun, with an early role for a black actor that isn't blatantly condescending, and the boats themselves make it worth keeping on my shelf, especially since it was so cheap.

So there.
