"As far as story is concerned, Edgar Allan Poe’s poem Annabel Lee is a little lean. Childhood sweethearts are separated by family disapproval and then by death. The narrator continues to worship his beloved Annabel in “in her sepulcher down by the sea”. The theme of love perfected by death is par for the course as far as Poe is concerned but it isn’t particularly easy to make a film about.
That’s probably why the writer, Arthur Brilliant (really), opted for a somewhat more upbeat tale. Annabelle Lee (Lorraine Harding) and David Martin (John O’Brien) have been friends since childhood and have just discovered that they are in love. Annabelle’s father, Colonel Lee (Louis Stearns), is a wealthy man and does not want his daughter unhappily married to a fisherman.
The young lovers will not be denied so Col. Lee proposes a deal: David and Annabelle will separate for a year with no contact. If they are still in love by that time, they will be allowed to marry.
David decides to use the year to search for the sunken treasure ship that bankrupted his family. He leaves a sheaf of poems for Annabelle to read while he is away and sets sail.
Col. Lee decides to use the year to introduce his daughter to other eligible young men. Donald Grainger (Ernest Hilliard) is a good-natured publisher who loves Annabelle but her interest in him is purely professional. She wants him to publish David’s poems.
David’s insistence on discipline and on running a teetotaler ship has led to discontent among the crew. They mutiny and set David adrift. He lands on a desert island with little hope of rescue. Meanwhile, the mutinous crew manages to burn the ship down.
David’s mother (Florida Kingsley) receives a letter that David’s ship burned with all hands lost. Annabelle refuses to believe that David is dead and wants to wait for him. But Grainger still loves Annabelle and her father reminds her that she can’t mourn forever.
The scenery, my dear, the scenery! The picture takes full advantage of its Martha’s Vineyard locations and shoots them gloriously: silhouettes against the ocean, ships coming in to port, picturesque wooden houses, the whole ball of wax."
