The best thing I have got from this film is learning about Cy Grant whom I had never heard of. He was an incredible man he had been an Officer In the RAF flying Lancaster bombers, shot down over Holland he was captured and spent the last 2 years of the war in POW camp. After the war he studied law and qualified as a Barrister . He then became an actor (obviously) acting with the likes of Laurence Olivier and in 1956 became the first black person to host his own tv show (in Britain) an successful singer. Grant also supported black rights and set up his own Arts Centre in London called the Drum to help black artists get started and be a national centre to promote black artistic talent. I would have loved to have met him, what a man, we white people never heard of him and his achievements, he should have received some sort of honour.
I disagree with the part where, when number 4 found the machete, he refused to share it, suddenly becoming obsessive and tyrannical, becoming surly about the raft design, for no good reason, going completely against the gain of the character's previous good nature. As for the part when Bulldog conspired to leave him alone on the island, I would rather be killed by sharks trying to reach the raft than left to go insane on that tiny spit of sand. It was fitting, bulldog finally went mad from guilt over his treachery.
@@freemarketjoe9869 If I see the story correctly the character of number 4 didn't trust the racist bigot so kept the machete to himself also when it came to building the raft he would have known that the racist and other man wouldn't have any idea how to make a sea worthy raft. Therefore he took the lead, they didn't have the luxury of time and in those days a white man would have normally insisted on taking the lead over a black man even though he didn't have a clue. So I think number 4 did the right thing

Beautiful Joan Collins is still beautiful at 91 today in 2024 because she married a much younger man who is still beside her and keep her happy. She deserves always the best and she got it. Go see on Wikipedia. What a great Lady.
Even though iam way younger than Joan Collins... she's always been one of my very favourite actresses .... she's talented Beautiful and Brilliant .... she has been a very talented actress from the very start of her courier to the very last movie she's done... A GREAT Icon.... QUEEN OF CINEMA ... that's how i see her as. To my dearest Joan Collins .. sending love and blessings to you... where ever you are... You've given the very Best to your audience right throughout the years... and to that A VERY BIG THANK YOU ❤🙏🙏🙏
Good movie to watch. Joan Collins always so lovely and this rare character she played could not diminish her beauty. All characters were splendid to watch. This movie would be a great remake someday.
@@freemarketjoe9869 Interesting, I was just thinking that in this film, Burton speaks with a rather stiff, unemotional tone. Good-looking, intense... but i find his delivery dull.
What a touching, sad story! Burton and Collins - who would have thought?! Good acting all round and an interesting story. Would it have been so bad if they had simply met again and exchanged a few words?? 😢
For non-horse lovers, "Biscuit", short for "Seabiscuit", was the most famous racehorse in America in the 1940's. Its story was known to all horserace buffs. So the combination Sea Wife and Biscuit would obviously evoke associations with horseracing. Incomprehensible in 2024.

Released - Oct 16 1957 PLOT- After their vessel is sunk by a Japanese submarine off the coast of Singapore during World War II, a beautiful nun (Joan Collins), a black purser (Cy Grant), a military officer (Richard Burton) and a racist businessman (Basil Sydney) escape in a small lifeboat. Tensions mount as the group drifts through the ocean, rations supplies and struggles to survive under the harsh sun. The military officer soon falls in love with the nun, unaware of her true identity.

Did Sea Wife ( Sister Teresa) ever say why she kept her identity secret? And why would "Biscuit" ever believe the story that she was dead, coming from a man he knew to be so corrupt and cruel? Maybe he just gave up hope anyway, in the end.

Contains spoilers: Three men in a boat with Joan Collins as a nun. Starts as a romance; becomes an adventure; but is in fact a homily. Cast adrift together are the eponymously nameless habit-free heroine, a besotted bird-catching Burton and a pointless (and unpunished) bigot whose colored target is the hero of the piece before being dispensed with in a clumsily contrived climax followed by an unlikely denouement that serves only its disingenuous premise to preach about faith or goodness in the face of the worst of us or something. As cinema, the stars look good but go through the motions of a belabored script and a lot of studio-bound surviving. Oh, and okay he found a machete but where did they get all that rope?
The story/plot is of course poppycock. But the streets of Ole' Londowntown look amazing. Just imagine, back then in good old 1947 (according to the date of the letter from the doctor), you could in fact walk for half an hour on most streets -- without somebody knifing you to death, like they would in today's London or any other bigger British city .

LOL that's Joan Collins! She was typecast. She plays the same character, regardless of the script. Her dozens upon dozens of daytime Emmy awards attest to the timelessness of her style. This was released when I was born in 1957, and she still played the same character well up to 2017, 60 years later. ❤ 1:18:44
You should be so lucky. She was a major actress in the Golden age of Hollywood and t.v. Not too many people can claim that on their resume, especially armchair wannabe critics.
Garbage. This role was the polar opposite of most of her roles. Did you expect her to have a completely different voice or face? You don't know diddly about casting or typecasting.
I realize that some people have opinions of their own, but while she’s not ugly, I never thought of her as beautiful. Her facial proportions are off, but... compared to some of the circus side show rejects coming out of Hollywood these days, she was a stunning beauty.
As with most women, physical characteristics are only half the equation. Collin's sweet, outgoing, yet polite demeanor, much like Julie Andrews possessed, was quite attractive. I have met many women who, while not exactly classically beautiful, had a personal warmth and charm that any man would give anything to be close to.
I agree. Never was a fan of Joan Collins bc of no beauty (sorry).Cannot believe that a nun would act like that in situations of high danger. Came here only for Richard Burton.
Not out of his bliss Springs the stress felt Nor first from heaven (and few know this) Swings the stroke dealt- Stroke and a stress that stars and storms deliver, That guilt is hushed by, hearts are flushed by and melt- But it rides time like riding a river (And here the faithful waver, the faithless fable and miss).
The SS City Of Benares was torpedoed and sunk in Sept 1940 in he North Atlantic. 258 people died - 77 of them were children being evacuated to Canada... The U Boat captain could not have known that civilians were on board . He deeply regretted his actions .....some reports say he eventually suffered a nervous breakdown..?
Poor #4. I don't know which is worse, men who can't take no for an answer or women that lead them on and not tell the truth so he'd know he didn't have a chance.
Good humble-compassionate-role for young Richard Burton. I like Burton far better in these quite humble ‘human-roles’ than his usual flamboyant arrogant wealthy-elitist idle-rich entitled-class, existing in disengaged-isolation in low-oxygen rarefied societal atmosphere.
Lovely how their clothing is always Clean, fresh, unsoiled and only torn here and there after long period of time on the raft, horrific hurricane,and other adventures, bodies unbruised, fresh haircuts....did I miss anything?
HE WAS WELSH AND HIS ENGLISH TEACHER ASKED HIM TO PUT MARBLES IN HIS MOUTH GO ON TOP OF HILL AND SPEAK, LO AND BEHOLD A VOICE WAS BORN UNMATCHED IN HISTORY. HE WAS MICAST IN "CLEOPATRA" AS ANTHONY
Good movie. The plot reminds me of "Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison" with Deborah Kerr and Robert Mitchum, also made in 1957; it's also a better movie than this, imo.
John's whispering voice throughout the film really irritated me. So unrealistic. She whispered even quieter when she shouting for help or with anger. Nun 'a talked like other people. Otherwise it was a good movie.
Many left it too late to leave singapore they should have realised when japan occupied Indochina in 1940 the threat Was near even churchill refused to send tanks and Aircraft there in 1941 Preferring sending aid to russia!
I can't think of any rational reason she felt the need to hide being a nun? There wasn't any. It was silly and certainly not worth all the drama it created. The film would have been better off if he knew, but loved her anyway and made her life holy hell just by professing a love for her, she couldn't return, because of her vows!
That Burton voice. Rich, yet understated timbre...dark, smokey.
You are describing a fine wine! 😂
The best thing I have got from this film is learning about Cy Grant whom I had never heard of. He was an incredible man he had been an Officer In the RAF flying Lancaster bombers, shot down over Holland he was captured and spent the last 2 years of the war in POW camp. After the war he studied law and qualified as a Barrister . He then became an actor (obviously) acting with the likes of Laurence Olivier and in 1956 became the first black person to host his own tv show (in Britain) an successful singer.
Grant also supported black rights and set up his own Arts Centre in London called the Drum to help black artists get started and be a national centre to promote black artistic talent.

No. She did a good job. But it's not a usual role for her.
Japanese technology. 😂
Lovely round hole. 😂
John's whispering voice throughout the film really irritated me. So unrealistic. She whispered even quieter when she shouting for help or with anger. Nun 'a talked like other people. Otherwise it was a good movie.
Many left it too late to leave singapore they should have realised when japan occupied
Indochina in 1940 the threat
Was near even churchill refused to send tanks and
Aircraft there in 1941

Just a very long drawn out boring movie. Kept waiting for something meaningful to happen. But no such luck. What a shame such good actors.
I can't think of any rational reason she felt the need to hide being a nun? There wasn't any. It was silly and certainly not worth all the drama it created. The film would have been better off if he knew, but loved her anyway and made her life holy hell just by professing a love for her, she couldn't return, because of her vows!
She figured it was nun of his business, lol.
She could have left.
