Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Absolutely the worst movie.

A Major Disappointment

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Jeanne Crain has never looked lovelier in this classy looking suspense movie that will leave you in knots. Costarring Carl Betz, from The Donna Reed Show, as Jeanne's husband and Michael Rennie as the ship's doctor, it concerns newlyweds who go on a cruise for a honeymoon. But this movie wastes no time on pleasantries. Carl promptly disappears and Jeanne spends the whole movie consumed in finding her husband. No one will believe her when she insists she's not alone, because no one else remembers seeing him on board. A tour de force by Jeanne Crain, as she is practically going out of her mind with worry.(This was remade in the early 90s as a Lindsay Wagner TV-movie, which was called Treacherous Crossing.) Miss the original, and not only do you miss one good movie, but you miss seeing Jeanne Crain, one of the sweetest and most beautiful stars ever in films, who rightly held a place in not only GIs', but all mens' hearts and second only to Betty Grable in receiving the most fan mail.Jeanne Crain, you are not forgotten.

Wealthy young bride on ocean liner leaving New York City disrupts the lives of everyone on-board ship with curious story of a missing husband whom nobody recalls seeing. His name isn't on the passenger list, and two eyewitnesses don't remember the guy, so perhaps the lady's delusional or making the story up? Could be: Jeanne Crain's voice-over is reminiscent of Olivia de Havilland's for "The Snake Pit", while her hysterical manner clearly suggests instability. Luckily for Crain, this melodrama (based on the uncredited radio play "Cabin B-13" by John Dickson Carr) is tightly wound and occasionally surprising, despite going down roads we've traveled before. Though the narrative is familiar, the new cast of characters is intriguing, and most of the acting is solid. Crain (with Donna Reed's hair) isn't a smart heroine; she's stubbornly unstable--fainting, screaming, and at one point causing stoic ocean-medic Michael Rennie to give her a firm slap. A craftier central figure in place of a victimized wifey might have made for a stronger picture, but this one isn't half-bad. Nice direction from Joseph M. Newman, well-paced and enjoyable. *** from ****

Ruth (Jeanne Crain) and John (Carl Betz) board a ship for their honeymoon. However, within 15 minutes of sailing, John has disappeared. Not only has he disappeared but there has never been any trace of him and there are no witnesses that have seen the couple together. The room that they originally booked into is now empty and only Ruth's suitcases seem to be located on board - in a different room! So begins the mystery. The film follows Ruth's attempts to locate her husband while we are introduced to a suspicious cast of characters. No-one believes her story and even the confidante that she finds in Dr Paul Manning (Michael Rennie) has his doubts. She receives a phone call in her cabin from John saying that they are both in danger.......The film gets you involved from the beginning and you know that something sinister is occurring. The various characters are introduced to us - eg, stewardess Anna (Mary Anderson), single traveller Kay (Marjorie Hoshelle), steward Jim (Casey Adams) and a foreign passenger with a walking stick (Karl Ludwig Lindt) - and we are never quite sure what is in the back of their minds. Even Dr manning is not above suspicion. The fog horn that continually sounds adds to the tension in the night scenes and it is a well acted film by all.

Fox Film-Noir. Joseph Newman directs Jeanne Crain, who probably was borderline verging the higher echelon of leading ladies. The attractive Crain plays Ruth Bowman, a blushing bride so proud of her new husband John(Carl Betz). The honeymoon is to be a transatlantic voyage...romantic with magical delights. But chaos begins when John leaves his bride in their cabin to go to the purser...he never arrived there and never came back to his new wife, who is shifting into a delirious frenzy. No one on board has any record of his existence. Instead of a happy honeymoon it is frantic hysteria for Ruth, who must prove she is actually married and that John does exist. The only person on board who feels Ruth's ordeal is real and not imagined is the ship's physician, Dr. Paul Manning(Michael Rennie), who might have some deeper feelings for his newest patient. Other players include: Mary Anderson, Marjorie Hoshelle, Willis Bouchey and Max Showalter.
