The ship is the star
Review date: 2008-01-29 Rating: 8 out of 10
The cast of this early colour disaster movie is heavyweight - George Sanders as the captain and fifties favourites Robert Stack and Dorothy Malone as the main love interest - but there's no doubt about the real star of The Last Voyage, for the film makers sank a real ocean liner, the legendary Ile de France, in order to make it.
This accounts for the gripping realism of the film from beginning to end - those tilting art deco interiors and grimy, slowly flooding engine room spaces are all real.
The dialogue is a little hackneyed, particularly in the scenes of normal shipboard life before the explosion, but once things start to go seriously wrong it can't help but keep you on the edge of your seat. Well worth watching, if scarcely George Sanders' finest hour.
