Review of Lifeboat (1944) by Cory C — 17 Jul 2008
Hitchcock is no stranger to tight, claustrophobic sets. But 'Lifeboat' would be his first. To make a 90 minute feature film without leaving the confines of a lifeboat drifting at sea, that was the mission.
No easy feat. Hitchcock took on this character study with politics thrown in the mix and transformed it into a classic setting rich with developed characters, compelling dialogue, and a thick atmosphere.
And even though Hitchcock's trademark twists or thrilling murder mysteries are mostly absent from this one, there's more than enough material here to sustain the film's running time.
