The "7" is for the 3-D version. I wouldn't dream of watching this movie in 2-D. In the first place, it's a "B" movie. Admittedly, it has a pretty fair star line-up in Fernando Lamas, Arlene Dahl, Patricia Medina and Francis L. Sullivan, but it's directed by Edward Ludwig. Admittedly, Ludwig's direction here is a notch or two above his usual level, but 1952's "Big Jim McLain" is probably the worst film John Wayne ever made; 1956's "Flame of the Islands" was a total waste of Yvonne De Carlo; and 1957's "The Black Scorpion" had little to recommend it aside from the presence of Mara Corday. I will admit that "Sangaree" provides a fair bit of action and allows for some characteristic villainy from Francis L. Sullivan, but minus the novelty of 3-D, 95 minutes is far too long to sustain interest in this "B"- grade melodrama.
