Trivia:
The rubber octopus used in this movie was later stolen by Edward D. Wood Jr.'s crew and used in Bride of the Monster (1955). They forgot to steal the motor that ran the tentacles though, so Bela Lugosi was forced to wrap the tentacles around him while he "fought" the beast. moreGoofs:
Revealing mistakes: The shipwreck is obviously a model. moreFAQ

My all time favorite of all the John Wayne movies. It came out when I was a young girl and I have seen it 34 times, and would watch it again if I could find a video. Compared to special effects today, it is lacking, but I believe it was one of his best.
