The Lady Eve (1941) is an excellent showcase for Barbara Stanwyck, she plays a con-woman on a ship sailing from South America and decides to con rich Henry Fonda, of course, falling in love along the way.  _02.jpg)

Titanic II (2010) is a silly and cheap Asylum movie, Bruce Davison is the only famous face here and he must have lost a bet or been blackmailed into appearing in this.

Just finished Dangerous Crossing (1953), recommended by mattgarth, thanks Matt!   This was very familiar because I had just seen the TV movie remake, Treacherous Crossing last week, not knowing it was a remake of anything. I would have preferred to have watched the original first, but at the time I didn't know there was an original. This was a fun mystery-noir with lots of twists and some nice noir-y fog scenes out on deck. Jeanne Crain is assisted by the alien from The Day the Earth Stood Still, a.k.a. Michael Rennie, in looking for her missing husband on board. |

Death Cruise (1974 TVM) starring Kate Jackson, Celeste Holm, Michael Constantine, Tom Bosley, Polly Bergen, Edward Albert and Richard Long. Some twists and turns will keep you guessing. A bit noirish as well, as noirish as you can be in a 70's TV movie. Thanks to teleadm for bringing it to my attention, I did enjoy this.

I've had to abandon all hope in seeing two movies that I'd planned on seeing this week: The Keyhole (1933) and Luxury Liner (1933). Maybe they'll pop up on TCM someday. The Keyhole was later remade into Romance on the High Seas (1948) which I watched earlier this week. It's very disappointing to not get to see it because it starred George Brent, Kay Francis and Glenda Farrell (LOVE HER). George Brent I'd just seen at Christmas in Christmas Eve (1947), and he starred in 'Til We Meet Again (1940), another cruise movie I saw earlier in the week too. It's a remake of One Way Passage (1932). Brent also appears in both Luxury Liner (1933) and Luxury Liner (1948). I have the 1948 version recorded from TCM, still not sure if the titles are a coincidence or if it's a remake situation. Brent spent a lot of screen time at sea, so he was a vital component in my mad scheme to watch these movies in my peculiar OCD order! Kay Francis was also in One Way Passage and it would have been nice to complete the set by seeing her in The Keyhole too. Director Michael Curtiz made both The Keyhole and its remake, Romance on the High Seas!   |

 Very good movie I thought. Married couple gets a bunch of money & grow bored of one another, end up with some trysts & drama asea & abroad. Hitchcock. I must say, some of the worst movie posters for a quality film I've searched! This thing here looks like bus station paperback cover. |

The Princess Comes Across (1936) An enjoyable trip, a fluffy but delightful romantic comedy with two wonderful stars in the second of four charming appearances together, Carole Lombard and Fred MacMurray. Aboard the Luxury Liner Mammoth, Wanda Nash (Lombard) an actress from Brooklyn is masquerading as "Princess Olga" from Sweden, doing a Greta Garbo impersonation she hopes of landing a film contract with a big Hollywood studio. On board she runs into King Mantell (MacMurray), a concertina-playing band leader with a shady past. Both become the target of a blackmailer and later suspects in a murder investigation Police detectives traveling on the ship are trying to pin the wrap on the pair, as they try to solve the mystery themselves & clear their names …

Goliath Awaits (1981 TVM), starring Christopher Lee, Mark Harmon, Emma Samms, Jeanette Nolan, John Carradine, Eddie Albert, John Ratzenberger, Robert Forster and Frank Gorshin. It has the mostly implausible plot of a cruise liner sunk during WWII being located 40 years later...with survivors trapped inside! It was okay and kept my attention.  The movie features not one, not two, but THREE DRACULAS! Christopher Lee, John Carradine and Duncan Regehr, who played Dracula in The Monster Squad (1987)!  Mark Harmon has a mustache in this movie, and it just seems odd. Meanwhile, John Ratzenberger, famous for having a mustache on Cheers, has shaven his off for this movie.

Adrift (2018) was a bit of a deviation from the cruise liners and luxury liners, it's a true story about a couple whose sailboat capsizes in the Pacific and they try to survive until rescued. Really good!

Luxury Liner (1948), a musical in which Jane Powell really wails impressively! George Brent is here, he loved being in these ocean liner flicks, apparently.

Halfway through week two of my ocean liner movie binge I became waterlogged. I did manage to see the following: Hotel Transylvania 3 (2018) The third sequel finds the monster gang at sea on a cruise originating from the Bermuda Triangle, naturally.  Royal Wedding (1951) Has a brief ocean liner sequence at the start. Astaire dancing on the ceiling and walls is just pure movie awesomeness.  Love Affair (1939) Is the original version of both An Affair to Remember and Love Affair (1994). All three are great, Irene Dunne is someone I never considered too much before, but she's really growing on me, a lot. _02.jpg) Phantom Ship (1935) Stars Bela Lugosi aboard a seafaring ship (not really an ocean liner) in the 1800's. Bela really is great here, the movie is a bit of a mess though. Also known as The Mystery of the Mary Celeste.  Mystery Liner(1934) is a dull so-called mystery. The scenery was seemingly made of cardboard, and so were some of the actors! It has Edwin Maxwell, who will be a familiar face to classic movie fans.  |
