| User ReviewAlly CThis is what you call acting! Even though they were stuck in one setting the whole movie, they easily made it entertaining and exciting to watch. The acting was absolutely amazing and of course Tyrone Power stunned the audience with another great performance! This is a must see for all generations to come! "Abandon Ship!" Hands down is worth five stars and is definitely worth your time. Rating:100 |
| User ReviewHeather CTP becomes captain when the old Cap dies, and he is set on getting as many people alive to the coast of Africa as he possibly can. However, there are 26 people 1 dog and the small raft is built for 9 w/food and water. TP knows that he has to shave off the dead wood when a storm comes and it is apparent that the weight of the passengers is making it sure that perhaps none of them will survive. So he elects to survive, by picking who will live and who will be cast out of the boat. How long do they have until So Africa? TP is excellent, some of his best work in this movie, and it is hard to believe that he died the next year of a heart attack....... will not spoil the ending! |
| User ReviewBeau BA great story of survival and leadership in crisis. Tyrone Power's most complex role on film illustrates his natural sense of command and the vulnerability of the human condition when confronted by the pall of imminent death. The cast is outstanding and 3 dimensional! |
| User ReviewLucas MA tense and fun classic. Full of suspense and high drama, similar to ''Lifeboat'' by Alfred Hitchcock. However, Abandon Ship, it's a little know film, that could entertaining the audience. Fresh. |
