Yul Brynner - Port of New York Collector's film for Yule fans. First official appearance in a major role. Plays an insidious criminal - the owner of all smuggling processes in the port of New York. Young, charming, mobile - he is a collective image of a young pragmatic looking for the easiest ways in the struggle for a place under the sun. Of course, the actor’s charisma adds to the nonverbal message left by the character – nobility, courage, and confidence. Although, apparently, the creators of the tape did not focus on such a powerful negative character.
After all, abstracting from participation in the film Brynner, before us is the usual propaganda film about combating corruption and smuggling. Similar to the documentary – descriptive-chronical manner of narration tells about the offenses and formation of criminal clans, which are opposed by bold federal “hawks”. It's not easy and interesting.
My impression of this picture is much more involved in it Brynner, original and brilliant, influenced by the simple word – “propaganda”. That's why it's a low score. If you try to express the impression of the film in colors, then I would call it “gray”.
