From the opening scenes, director Richard Sale makes you aware that this is not going to be a "pretty" film. With the small shot of a simple sea mine floating in the water transforming into a classic 1950s explosion with horrific screams of passengers, Sale again reminds you that this is not going to be a typical Hollywood disaster film. As a reviewer, I must remind those reading that this is not a pretty picture - do not expect your typical film where the heroine always makes good decisions and ... Read More

When a luxury liner sinks a handful of survivors ,including the captain,make it to a lifeboat .It quickly becomes obvious that some of the survivors must be jettisoned in order for the maximum number to stand any chance of survival .This forms the bulk of this tense and gripping,if somewhat claustrophobic,movie that is graced by a number of admirable performances not least from Tyrone Power as the ship's captain whom many blame for the disaster.Special mention to the admirable Mai Zetterling ,Stephen ...

A powerfull classic movie with great performance by the legendary Tyrone Power. Power was known for his powerfull performance and bringing life to his roll....such as in "Jessie James" and many other great movies. This is a nail biting thriller.

There's the Italian hood with a switchblade, the officious army commander, the loose woman, the professor, and Mary Ann! No kidding, they are all there, 26 of 'em. ... Read More

Tyrone Power appeared in a number of famous and glamorous films, but this simple story remains the one I remember best.
It raises some basic ethical questions. If some of those who survive a disaster are sure to die because of their injuries, should they be kept alive even if doing that threatens the survival of the others in the group? If resources are scarce and some of the healthy survivors--possibly most or even all--will eventually die, should some eventually be selected for earlier death ... Read More
