Sea Devils is a 1937 American action film directed by Benjamin Stoloff and starring Victor McLaglen, Ida Lupino and Preston Foster. Among the American "preparedness films" of the mid-1930s devoted to enhancing the image of the Army (Flirtation Walk), the Navy (Here Comes the Navy) and the Marines (The Singing Marine, Devil Dogs of the Air), this entry focuses equivalent approving attention on the work of the U.S. Coast Guard.[2] [3]
A Coast Guard Chief Petty Officer's personality conflict with his younger counterpart gets physical when the seaman casts his eye on the Chief's librarian daughter, among iceberg destruction missions, dramatic boat rescues, and fistfights.
Unbilled players include Lane Chandler, George Irving, Dwight Frye Charles Lane and Brad Slaven .
The film was to be directed by James Flood, but he left the project shortly before shooting after a disagreement with producer Small.[4]
The film was popular and made a profit of $155,000.[1]
