Wolf Larsen is a 1958 Americanadventure film directed byHarmon Jones and starringBarry Sullivan andPeter Graves.[1][2]
A mean-spirited ship captain keeps his crew under his autocratic thumb while indulging his more refined side. But when his men rise up in mutiny, Larsen forces the cultured Van Weyden to help him quash the uprising.
In September 1956 producer Lindsay Parsons announced he would make a film calledThe Far Wanderer from a script by Turney Walker. It was to be about seal hunting and starSterling Hayden, also using Hayden's yacht. Filming was to begin in November 1956 and finance came from Allied Artists.[3]Gregg G. Tallas was attached as director.[4]
Eventually filming pushed back and Hayden dropped out, to be replaced by Barry Sullivan. However Hayden's yacht was still used. Filming began May 1958.[5] The female lead went to Gita Hall, who was married to Sullivan at the time.[6]
This was the sixth film version of London's novel. Larsen had been portrayed byNoah Beery Sr. in 1920 andEdward G. Robinson in 1941.
