Lifeboat (1944) Directed by Alfred Hitchcock

Summary: An eclectic group of people band together for survival after their passenger ship is torpedoed by a German U-boat. An already desperate situation becomes even more volatile when one of the passengers is revealed to be a Nazi sailor . . .

Things I Liked: The premise and the movie's technical achievements. Films like this one make me really appreciate the director's skill and expertise with a camera on set. Solid performances all around.

Things I Didn't Like: The story - particularly the resolution - lacked meat and left me feeling unsatisfied.
