A rediscovered gem newly restored by the 3-D Film Archive, September Storm
is a CinemaScope Stereovision adventure that plunges the viewer into
the depths of the Balearic Sea, off the coast of Spain. Mark Stevens
stars as a treasure-hunter who convinces a yacht hand (Asher Dann) to
take him and his cohort (Robert Strauss) on a quest for gold doubloons.
They encounter many spectacles along the way: a violent storm,
man-eating sharks, a deadly man o' war, but perhaps the most stunning
sight of all is the bewitching model (Joanne Dru) who embarks on the
journey with them. Director Bryan Haskin (The War of the Worlds, Robinson Crusoe on Mars) uses the 3-D camera to maximum effect, while hardboiled writer W.R. Burnett (The Asphalt Jungle, Little Caesar) injects the screenplay liberal doses of seduction and betrayal.
