Special notes | Director of photography: Otto Heller Margaret Hinxman on Heller's camerawork: "The atmosphere – helped by strikingly effective black and white photography – is authentic, not manufactured: the sleazy South American ports at the beginning and end; the tense, lonely world of the tramp steamer where most of the action takes place."
