18. Juni 2014 · Mara Maru (1952) -- (Movie Clip) Nice Big Emergency Director Gordon Douglas gets straight to business with action under the credits, introducing leading man Errol Flynn underwater, as Manila-based salvage expert Mason, Roberto Cabal and Henry Marco his local crew, in Mara Maru, 1952, with Ruth Roman and Raymond Burr.

Mara Maru is a 1952 American noir action film starring Errol Flynn, Ruth Roman and Raymond Burr. Directed by Gordon Douglas, it was the last movie Flynn made for Warner Bros where he had started out in Hollywood in 1935.

Editing is smooth, though judicious trimming would not go amiss. A pity to see so much craftsmanship wasted on such an empty script.
