I've never seen Wake of the Red Witch, but possible links might be John Wayne and giant octopus.

It's funny how I am seeing all these movies about ship salvaging lately.
A couple of weeks ago, I saw The Wreck of the Mary Deare (1959) and was fascinated by the story.
To me, it held a lot of interest because it was hard to know what Gary Cooper was doing with (or about) that derelict ship and why he was sometimes working with Charlton Heston and sometimes working against him.
