I agree with Dorian that this may be Tyrone Power's best performance...he's ridiculously tough in this film, as he has to be given the dire situation he and the survivors are in. I need to see ABANDON SHIP again ASAP, as it's been too long. LIFEBOAT is one of my favorite Hitchcock films but you're right, it's much lighter in tone than this film.<br /><br />Jeff<br />thestalkingmoon.weebly.comJeff Flugelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06127134815672151999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4729648144476396641.post-90295641335124429452012-07-09T22:31:47.729-04:002012-07-09T22:31:47.729-04:00Wow -- I've never even heard of this movie!

The cast was superb, possibly Tyrone Power's best performance. I can't imagine having to be in such an ordeal, and I hope I never have to find out, but your ABANDON SHIP post makes Hitchcock's LIFEBOAT like a day at the beach by comparison! (This is why there's no way in hell you'd get me on a sea cruise! :-)) Great post, Dave!DorianTBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01357778472575080022noreply@blogger.com
