Bernadette B The quintessential movie for anyone teaching morality and ethics. Although it was a black and white, 1957 movie, my students loved it. It led to a great discussion and debate about life and death decisions. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/02/23 Full Review Audience Member This is what you call acting! Even though they were stuck in one setting the whole movie, they easily made it entertaining and exciting to watch. The acting was absolutely amazing and of course Tyrone Power stunned the audience with another great performance! This is a must see for all generations to come! "Abandon Ship!" Hands down is worth five stars and is definitely worth your time. Rating:100 Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member A great story of survival and leadership in crisis. Tyrone Power's most complex role on film illustrates his natural sense of command and the vulnerability of the human condition when confronted by the pall of imminent death. The cast is outstanding and 3 dimensional! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member TP becomes captain when the old Cap dies, and he is set on getting as many people alive to the coast of Africa as he possibly can. However, there are 26 people 1 dog and the small raft is built for 9 w/food and water. TP knows that he has to shave off the dead wood when a storm comes and it is apparent that the weight of the passengers is making it sure that perhaps none of them will survive. So he elects to survive, by picking who will live and who will be cast out of the boat. How long do they have until So Africa? TP is excellent, some of his best work in this movie, and it is hard to believe that he died the next year of a heart attack....... will not spoil the ending! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member There's only one set and it's mostly water so it probably cost very little to make this movie, but its real achievement is creating real drama in the survival situation from the decisions made that reverberate with the audience. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member "The point of civilization was for the strong to protect the weak." "Why are the wicked always so strong?"
