Review of Lifeboat (1944) by David L — 03 May 2017
Lifeboat is one of the most underrated Hitchcock films. Yes, it may be unrealistic at times and some characters and scenes are less interesting than the others, but it benefits from very strong acting (Tallulah Bankhead is so good here), a terrific set of characters and an intriguing drama and dilemmas brewing between those well-rounded characters.
It is also authentic in its setting meaning that not many films of the era revolve on the boat. It is flawed, but it's an entirely involving, very good and an unfortunately forgotten film from the master of suspense.
