QuickView
Story-line: in 1933, on a cruise ship leaving Veracruz (Mexico) and headed for Bremerhaven (Germany), several characters meet, bond or clash.
Pluses: a formidable cast (including Jose Ferrer, Lee Marvin, George Segal and Elizabeth Ashley), Simone Signoret’s undeniable star power, Oskar Werner’s touching turn, top-flight direction and a particularly tragic story.
Minuses: none whatsoever.
Comments: intolerance, restless love, Nazism and human misery… such is the fare offered to our tourists on the SHIP OF FOOLS. Here’s to a quality film from yesteryear that deserves to be seen by all movie buffs.
