The World in His Arms is a 1952 American seafaring adventure film directed by Raoul Walsh and starring Gregory Peck, Ann Blyth and Anthony Quinn, with John McIntire, Carl Esmond, Andrea King, Eugenie Leontovich, Hans Conried, and Sig Ruman.

In 1850 San Francisco, Russian Countess Marina Selanova (Blyth) flees from an arranged marriage to Prince Semyon (Esmond).

When Portugee's bitter rival, Captain Jonathan Clark, "the Boston-man" (Peck), frees his shanghaied crew, she sends a man to negotiate with him instead.

Assistant director James Havens filmed the boat race scenes over a period of 50 days off the Atlantic coast near Lunenburg, Nova Scotia and closeups of the lead actors were intercut later.

Actresses Lori Nelson, Joyce Holden, Kathleen Hughes and Jeanne Cooper attended the premiere along with star Ann Blyth.

"[6] Ben Sachs of Chicago Reader comments "This is not a classic, but it's loads of fun, thanks in part to Walsh's brisk pacing and infectious sympathy for rugged, macho types...Quinn boisterously (overacts) as only he can...even when the story gives way to high seas spectacle, the drama remains stubbornly life-sized.
