The Long Voyage Home	comment	The Long Voyage Home is a 1940 film directed by John Ford, starring John Wayne, Thomas Mitchell, Ian Hunter, and Barry Fitzgerald. It tells the story of a merchant ship on the high seas during World War II.The SS Glencairn is a British cargo ship in port in the West Indies in the spring of 1940. The men complain about lack of shore leave, but they soon find out that they will have to carry a cargo of ammunition from Baltimore to London, right through the German war zone. Ole (Wayne) is a Swedish sailor who wants nothing more than to collect his wages, go home to Sweden, and see his mother again. Smitty (Hunter) is an Englishman who has some kind of dark secret. Driscoll (Mitchell) is an old salt who is determined that Ole will in fact go home, rather than blowing all his money on drink once they reach port. But before Ole can go home, they have to make a highly dangerous voyage through waters being patrolled by the German Kriegsmarine and Luftwaffe.Screenwriter Dudley Nichols adapted the film from four one-act plays by Eugene O'Neill, with a Setting Update from World War I to World War II.

The Long Voyage Home / int_19f527df	comment	Blowing Smoke Rings: Yank does this while the Glencairn is tied up at port at the beginning of the movie. Later, he does this again when someone gives him a smoke while he lays in his bunk, dying from a punctured lung.

The Long Voyage Home / int_35b241c0	comment	Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: Let it be said that John Wayne's Swedish accent isn't completely terrible. Although one wonders if that's why Ole has so little dialogue.

The Long Voyage Home / int_5d3c6435	comment	The Drunken Sailor: The men go on a binge once they make port in London. They know that this is a bad idea, that it usually ends up with them blowing all their money and having to sign up for another voyage. They do it anyway.

The Long Voyage Home / int_7ccd2f10	comment	Press-Ganged: After the men of the Glencairn make port in London, they go out to celebrate. The Amindra needs another sailor however, so the men of the Glencairn are led to a scuzzy bar and deliberately plied with drink, so that Ole can be separated from them and forcibly brought aboard the Amindra. When the gang figures this out the charge aboard the Amindra and rescue Ole, but Driscoll gets knocked out and winds up getting stuck aboard.
