An early stab at the disaster genre by western director John Ford, THE HURRICANE is a film that manages to tick all of the right boxes, delivering a classic slice of Hollywood adventure in the meantime. Jon Hall is well cast as a Tarzan-like hero, finding himself the subject of a vendetta by weaselly villains, and ending up saving the day when the titular event strikes. A classic cast of characters do their bit here, with plenty of romance, ponderous lines, and well-directed mayhem come the climax.
