The Big Picture Just about everyone knows that John Wayne is one of the undisputed kings of the Western genre, but before finding stardom as the quintessential American cowboy, he flexed his acting muscles in various roles ranging from romance and horror to action-adventure. In 1942, Wayne portrayed Jack Stuart, the unfortunate captain of a wrecked ship rescued by marine salvage company heiress, Loxi Claiborne , in the swashbuckling film, Reap The Wild Wind, directed by Cecil B. DeMille.
Release Date June 4, 1942 Director Cecil B. DeMille Cast Ray Milland , John Wayne , Paulette Goddard , Raymond Massey , Robert Preston , Lynne Overman , Susan Hayward , Charles Bickford Runtime 123 Minutes Writers Alan Le May , Charles Bennett , Jesse Lasky Jr.
Loxi discovers the plan and gets Jack to help rescue Steve, turning the tables on the cutthroats determined to kidnap him, but in the process, Loxi and Jack discover that he was given the appointment at the Southern Cross and Steve had attempted to hide it from him. Jack flies into a fit and knocks Steve unconscious, then, despondent over the entire thing and feeling betrayed by Loxi, he makes a deal with Cutler to wreck the Southern Cross.
While they are the very qualities that attract Loxi to him, his ambition as a captain is the ticking point that allows Cutler to corrupt him to plan the crash of the Southern Cross. His competency as a captain and his morality are put on trial when Jack is accused of letting a woman die on his wrecked ship, much to the disbelief of Loxi, and it's this test that's the essential part of John Wayne's character arc in Reap The Wild Wind.
