Show Notes
Directed by Alfred HitchcockUS 1944, b/w, 96 min.With Tallulah Bankhead, William Bendix, Walter Slezak English and German w/English Subtitles. Based on a story by John Steinbeck, Lifeboat has Hitchcock skillfully blending elements of his trademark psychological thrillers with propaganda for the Allied cause during World War II. The film takes place on a lifeboat, where Allied survivors of a shipwreck caused by a German U-boat struggle to survive. When the group saves a Nazi from the water, tensions begin to mount in the confined space of the small boat. Tallulah Bankhead gives her definitive film performance as a materialistic reporter.
