This is one of those few movies where the psychological plot is portrayed with such distinction because of the actors and their professional interpretation. Wonderful movie.
Great suspense movie! Great performance by Jeanne Crain, Michael Rennie and the rest. The only thing I remembered Carl Betz in was The Donna Reed Show. Thanks for bringing this film for our pleasure!
This was a great psychological thriller! Jeanne Crain was fabulous in this. I kind of feel bad I've never heard of her. Thanks so much for sharing this movie!
Jeanne Crain also starred as a biracial women living in the south in the 1949 movie, Pinky. She was nominated for Best Actress. I saw the movie in the early 1950's. One of my sister's granddaughters was nicknamed for the movie.
wow, it was good. I figured the plot probably after 15 min but it was still a very good film for that time and even now. Love a good suspense story and I can see this plot in a movie made now. Con artists, I guess, have always been up to this kind of stuff. So glad for a happy ending.
Great acting, and great acting for the woman and sticking strong to her own beliefs and knowledge about what was true. Such manipulation of women happens, and yet this movie was cool, because she held her own. Trust your instincts, always, and stay strong.
I am 73 and I have never seen a woman faint through being overwrought. In films of this age and earlier they did it all the time! Must be out of fashion now…
It happened much earlier in time than when this movie is set in. Ladies with corsets could not breath properly, so they'd faint from being unable to get enough oxygen. Most recently, the Victorian Era.
Fainting can be a sign of a weak heart. Her father died of a heart attack 4 months earlier so it wouldn't surprise me her heart was failing causing the fainting.
I find it hard to believe that a woman in her status (from a wealthy family) would have no identification, boarding pass, passport, a purse , or wedding ring …. basically nothing to identify who she is ! She’s like a child in desperate need of love . Would a woman really put that much trust in a man she just married ? She couldn’t even remember where she got married ! What sort of woman would put herself in this situation ?
12:08 *What a nightmare!* It was getting too intense for me, so skipped to Internet and found story is based on a play by great mystery author, John Dickson Carr; it was shot in three weeks using the sets from 'Titanic' and 'Gentlemen Prefer Blondes'; actress Jeanne Crain is in nearly every scene; and Michael Rennie plays the ship doctor.
This is a great movie!. Heck its almost what iam going through . She is not crazy. Thats sad that lady went through all that crap. Husband was in on it the whole time. People what they did back then. Red flag lady , you should have seen that run with the wind . People today do this crap running after people waiting . Reality it was never meant to be . If he or she goes through that much crap god does not want you together. That much stress and only married a couple hours . It will never work . Even relationships today a man will show his true self in 2 weeks. They cannot pretend that long.
The SS Monrovia was a real ship: (From Brave AI) Based on the provided search results, the SS Monrovia was a real ship. The search results indicate that the ship was built in 1943 as Empire Falstaff for the Ministry of War Transport (MoWT) and later renamed Commandant Mantelet, Commandant le Bilboul, and finally Monrovia. The ship’s specifications, including its cargo capacity, engine details, and registry information, are also mentioned in the search results. Additionally, the ship’s involvement in World War II, specifically serving as General George S. Patton’s headquarters during the invasion of Sicily, and its subsequent participation in six D-Day invasions in the Pacific theater, are documented. Furthermore, the search results include references to the ship’s registration in Monrovia, Liberia, which is often associated with “flags of convenience” due to the country’s lenient maritime regulations.
22:55 "Perhaps he dialed your number. I have no way of tracing your call on the dial system". This was filmed Jan. 1953 and the first direct dial call was Nov. 1951. Of course this is on a ship, so I'm not sure as far as calling from a payphone on a ship to a cabin back then.
Very good mystery; suspenseful. what happens when you've eloped and your new husband disappears on your honeymoon? We've heard a lot in the last few years about "accidents" at on cruise ships. Turns out this is not a recent at we think. And there's no cell phone, no internet, no IG or chat to help find him. It's pretty scary. A good ole fashion mystery. peace.
Twin beds 😂. That was required by code. I think it was Ricky and Lucy who broke the rule…on TV at least. The code was enforced in the UK until later, I think.
I have one problem with the plot of this movie. How was Barlow, acting as Burnett, going to collect his wife's inheritance after he had convinced everyone he doesn't exist and they were never married.
To much misplaced angst. Craine character reminds me of Doris Days’ character in the Movie “The Man Who Knew to Much”, another movie marked off my list of movies to watch again.
Movie is a tad silly ! 😂 All she thinks about is John ! Sounds like my sister ; her husband’s name is John. When they were first going out that’s all she ever talked about - John . 🙄🙄 🤣🤣🤣
The husband called to tell her he was alive and she cant tell anyone because they're in danger. Then she told the officer right away that husband called her 🙄
Ok, this "doctor" broke every ethics rule in the book. Slaps his patient across the face, injects her with knock-out drugs against her will, allows the patient to fall in love with him. He's a dirt bag, who needs to loose his license. I'm jumping in my time machine and going back to 1953 and report him to the college. GAWD!
1:00:23 Sad to say, I got this far into the movie before I started wondering what the hell John had been living on while wearing the same clothes - and then just imagine how I took what happened, 2 minutes later...
Strange how the Queen Mary had an all-American crew. And how did not suspect something fishy when her husband phoned room B18 rather than B16? And a ship with no sides above the desk level? And no lock on the door to the room where the luggage was stored? And there was an awful lot of fog on that voyage.
In certain places in causes and ships there are no sides because there are usually areas where no one was supposed to be there. As for queen Mary that has an American Crew any ship anywhere can gire any crew and even the incardination of ships can be done in different countries than the country of origin. For example, a country like Panama register fleets from everywhere as it brings them a lot of profit. Go learn before coming to write laughable foolishness instead of concentrating on the plot.
Well I guess it's a good thing we've come so far that people don't understand smoking. Now if we could just do something about the marijuana and the other illegal drugs that pervy in our country and also the worst of all alcohol
I met Carl Betz in the mid 70’ s when I worked as a young 20 year old, a receptionist at the Sacramento Conventions center…..he stood in the corner of reception area hands folded and very quiet, then he died a couple years later…….I never knew this movie existed back then…..I knew he did The Donna Reed Show & Judd for the defense……
I know, right? Having twin beds as shown in this movie was a requirement of the Hays Code- because having one bed implies that two people (even married ) might occupy it and have relations. A different, prudish era
Love the old flicks, no CGI , real sets with real people. Real actors & actresses. 👍🏆
This is one of those few movies where the psychological plot is portrayed with such distinction because of the actors and their professional interpretation. Wonderful movie.

Yep….the Donna Reed show
Yes and Donna Reed could have been Jeanne Crain's twin sister ... they look so alike. 😊
He played in Judd for the Defense in the 70s.
An awesome film classic I love it this is the 3rd time ive watched it it still fascinates me everytime !!!!! Thanks somuch 🎉🎉🎉🎉😅😅😅😅
Just because a person is paranoid, that doesn't mean someone is NOT out to get them. Nice film, thanx

The actress is such a beautiful lady . Enjoyed the film thanks. 👍🏆
Wonderful movie, thank you for sharing.💙🕊🌟

Can also happen the other way round. i know of a man who was conned by a woman for about a dozen years. She lived a double life.
The way the doctor slapped her!!
Getting Mrs. Bowman a glass of water? Must have been a bucket. Good flick Tku for post.
Absolutely beautiful clothes!!
22:18 _Don't trust anyone, not anyone._
Actually that's actually pretty good advice in general.

Excellent film.
Excellent movie.
Yay another B&W Classic ❤

Love the part where the doctor gives her a sedative to wash down with her cocktail 😂
It was his stash of Date Rape drugs that he often used on the lonely ladies.😝

El autor J.D.Carr es de los mejores en novelas policiales, la película tiene sus diferencias pero es buena, muy recomendable.
Great movie
Gosh that mink coat she wears is glamorous
This movie is anxiety provoking lol
That incessant foghorn almost put me over the edge.
The lead actress is gorgeous
Her friend played by Marjorie Hoshelle was hotter.

AWESOME screams - - - give the Wilhelm Scream a run for its money!
Never had this much trouble with Donna Reed !!
Wow, Donna Reed's husband was a real baddie before he married her. (on the TV show anyway.)
A gem of a movie
I like rivets. They're cool. I wish they'd use them again, just for the atmosphere. Who cares about safety.
I noticed the rivets too! Real heavy duty humdingers!

This movie was probably true.🤔
Flight plan with Jody Foster was based on the same idea as this movie.
Both are great movies
Poor man Married a rich woman. He works on Ship he is in sick bay Good story .Lies. ...end ends too quick
A different time ❤
It's a good movie, indeed.

I WAS ENTERTAINED
A bit far fetched but quite a thriller. Clearly women then were much more beautiful than now.

When John called her the first time, he called her in room B-16. I knew something was up then.
Twin beds 😂. That was required by code. I think it was Ricky and Lucy who broke the rule…on TV at least. The code was enforced in the UK until later, I think.
Initially, when they changed, I think it was 2 twin beds together. Rob and Laura Petri had twins after that though!
I'm wondering if the rule wasn't broken until Bewitched came along...??
Ricky & Lucy did NOT "break the rule" 😂😂 on TV, at least. what's wrong with you?? 🥴
Ms. Stanton's friend she met on deck was Marjorie Hoshelle who was married to actor Jeff Chandler.
luv that no passport and no ID but they let her stay on the ship anyway
Ship looks like the Queen Mary ( Now in Long Beach CA )
That dress at 50:04!
Yes, yes (Nora?) And those earrings aren't too shabby either!
It's mine. I'm wearing it right now
0:34 what ? no one in charge of continuity ? this is an outrage !
the fainting in the corridor... 🤣🤣
I have one problem with the plot of this movie. How was Barlow, acting as Burnett, going to collect his wife's inheritance after he had convinced everyone he doesn't exist and they were never married.
I love Jean Craine but her expressions in this movie were so off for me. I don’t know. Just didn’t care for her in this one.
❤ Le huis clos fameux de Agatha Christie est célèbre & John Dickinson Carr était un spécialiste dans le genre roman policier !
To much misplaced angst. Craine character reminds me of Doris Days’ character in the Movie “The Man Who Knew to Much”, another movie marked off my list of movies to watch again.

In 1953 that was the only known treatment for hysteria, and there was only one known treatment for hysterical anxiety then.

All these actors are gone? 💀💀💀
Queen Mary with an American crew!!
Let your passport go out the door.
Then Ms. Stanton sued the company that own the ship as Barlow was an officer on the ship and used the ship to commit his crimes.😁😛
People kiss other people after kissing dogs in the mouth today so that's even worse!😅
Just like the shining were always in some point in time in a hotel on a ship in a house in the beginning and end of the show
Her character is disturbing ! Weak , overly emotional and a bit psychotic. 😂🤣 The make up and wardrobe department did an excellent job however.
Lots of hats... especially the men. It was a hat day.
Bloody annoying fog horn all the way through the film, ruined it imo
I had to stop watching because of it 😅
What would these movies be without someone smoking a cigarette so close to other people or kissing right after they smoke. Yuck.
Yes you're right
And seeing doctors smoking too
Ha... my immediate thought was how that mink was going to smell. Criminal to do that to something of such value.
