The master “Hitchcock” shows how it’s done!

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 16 giugno 2022

I think this is another forgotten gem. Watching this reminds us what a genius director Hitchcock was. Shot in B&W, and set entirely on a single lifeboat after the British/American merchant ship was sank by a German torpedo, it shows the selfishness, Humility, desperation, and dishonesty of human nature, as well as the kindness, selflessness and empathy that we are also capable of during times of stress and discomfort. It displays well how when faced with possibility of death we can change to become a monster, or an angel, a hero, or a coward. A fantastic film by a fantastic British director! A must have for fans of 1940s cinema, as well as Hitchcock fans!

LIFEBOAT from MASTERS of CINEMA (EUREKA)

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 26 gennaio 2018

This review is for the MASTERS OF CINEMA BLURAY/DVD of LIFEBOAT. I watched the BLU RAY and have to admit to being just a bit disapointed with the quality. It's good (picture and sound wise - 4.3 ratio), but I really would have hoped for perfection instead of "good" regarding the transfer. To be honest I sometimes wonder if BLURAY isn't a bit over rated? Discuss!. The film is still, after all these years, a great watch. Hitchcock doesn't put an oar wrong, and the script and acting are spot on. I even thought Tallulah was just right! At just 90 mins there is no time for boredom and I recomend this as one of Hitch's almost forgotten classics. (There is a rather "Cahiers du Cinema" booklet, which does list the cast). The price is good so give it a go.

96 minutes on a boat? Hitchcock gives his viewers sea sickness :)

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 5 maggio 2013

Lifeboat by the master Alfred Hitchcock,

Which is probably one of Hitchcock's lesser known films, was made in 1944, and considering it's situated on a small boat throughout the 96 minutes of the Film quite a feat really keeping the viewers interested that long. A boat get's attacked by a German U-boat and lay shipwrecked, and they come across a German survivor and questions of morality come into play; should they feed him and treat him fairly as a POW or throw him off the boat? though good job it wasn't today he'd be beaten up mugged and thrown over.

The cast

Hume Cronyn as Stanley "Sparks" Garrett
Mary Anderson as Alice MacKenzie
Tallulah Bankhead as Constance "Connie" Porter
William Bendix as Gus Smith
Walter Slezak as Willi
John Hodiak as John Kovac
Henry Hull as Charles D. "Ritt" Rittenhouse
Heather Angel as Mrs. Higgins
Canada Lee as George "Joe" Spencer
William Yetter Jr. as German sailor
Hitchcock was even able to maintain his custom cameo this time appearing on a newspaper advert about weight loss, the film was generally well received but did come across some controversy showing the German as a likeable character which is true throughout the film, but Hitchcock does show that the German has something to hide and that he is not trust worthy but he does it subtly. And that works well. I mean come on if a German enemy soldier gets rescued by a bunch of Americans or English he's not exactly going to act all cliché villain. The film though is quite clichéd when it comes to the characters.

-The Blu Ray release-

well the dual edition steel book is very nice, which comes with a pretty informative 36 page booklet, special feature wise

New high-definition transfers of Hitchcock's little-seen French-language 1944 wartime films, Bon voyage (26 minutes) and Aventure malgache (31 minutes) officially licensed from the British Film Institute
Optional English subtitles on all three films
20-minute documentary on the making of Lifeboat
12-minute excerpt from the legendary 1962 audio interviews between Hitchcock and François Truffaut, discussing Lifeboat and the wartime shorts
PLUS: A 36-page booklet featuring archival imagery alongside new writing by critics Bill Krohn, Arthur Mas, and Martial Pisani
Though the picture itself won't exactly wow you, well it is from 1944 but the picture is probably the best this film will look and is not terrible, though the 4:3 screen why the two black bars at the side are very off putting.

but all in all a very good and worthy part to add to the collection .

Anyone got a compass?

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 28 dicembre 2008

At the beginning we see a sinking ship and debris floating in the water before the camera settles on the lifeboat where the immaculate Connie (Tallulah Bankhead) is alone. The lifeboat soon fills up with characters, including Willy (Walter Slezak) the German captain of the submarine responsible for the sinking of the ship. The film follows the quest to safety in Bermuda. However, only Willy knows the way.....

The story provides suspense as we watch Willy gradually take over control of the lifeboat. He is assured and possesses all the necessary skills that are called upon including surgery, seamanship, strength and a peculiar navigational awareness.... Do we, the audience, trust him just as the other members in the lifeboat have to? He seems nice enough.

The cast are good with Tallulah Bankhead and Walter Slezak winning the acting honours. Hume Cronym as "Sparks" has a peculiar voice and John Hodiak as "Kovac" has an unfortunate array of teeth in his mouth - he reminded me of 'Bingo' from the "Banana Splits" whenever he smiled. It's quite off-putting.

It's an entertaining film, if a little long, but it's worth seeing again. I won't go into the finer details of German Expressionism versus Soviet Expressive Realism which Hitchcock manages to combine, but I will say that he makes his usual appearance.
