Blood Alley is about an American being held in a Chinese prison for political reasons. John Wayne was a ship captain who was thrown into prison and had his ship taken. Now, a group of Chinese have broken him out and smuggled him to a small village where they want him to help them escape China. Here he meets Lauren Bacall, who is the daughter of an American doctor. She has been in China all of her life. The Communists have made life there almost unbearable, and with the exception of one family, all are ready to leave. This family is loyal to the communists and will have to be taken along too, just as self protection. Their escape vehicle is an old stern-wheeler riverboat built in America in 1884. It is used on the local river where the shallows prevent other vessels from operating. It burns wood an has a top speed of six knots. Their plan is to lure the government patrol boat into a trap and sink it. In an area where there is a constant fog, they plan to fake a fire onboard and a fake sinking, with only the smokestack remaining out of the water. All goes to plan and the entire village boards. Wayne who has knowledge of all the coastal shoals and coastline is supposed to pilot the lot to the safety of Hong Kong. Their desperate escape is dogged all the way by gunboats and other problems. The communist family wants to leave also, but the elder and some of his closest are intent to stop everybody. By poisoning the food and water, misery is shared by all. Eventually through good seamanship and a lot of luck, the entire lot is able to reach safety. This was a great movie.Read full review
I bought this film (VHS) because it is one that stared John Wayne and Lauren bacall. To my knowledge this may be the only film they made together. Also, I am an avid John Wayne fan. mackkim65
