After their ship is sunk in the Atlantic by Germans, eight people are stranded in a lifeboat, among them a glamorous journalist (Tallulah Bankhead), a tough seaman (John Hodiak), a nurse (Mary Anderson) and an injured sailor (William Bendix). Their problems are further compounded when they pick up a ninth passenger - the Nazi captain from the U-boat that torpedoed them. (officiële tekst van distribiteur)

Solid minimalist conversational drama from master Hitchcock, which takes place entirely on a boat, where an interesting mix of survivors find themselves after the sinking of the ship, and as a bonus a German from the submarine responsible for sinking the ship, which then also ran aground. Thanks to a great script, I was never bored, on the contrary, I was forced to think about how I would behave in a similar situation. The final slightly warlike scene is the perfect cherry on top. I also found amusing the classic cameo of Hitch himself, who managed to elegantly squeeze onto the boat deck without being one of the passengers.
