this copycat film be not nearly as compelling a the late 40 film lifeboat and the best post wwii lifeboat film . both share similar story line and but lifeboat have good actor and more interesting story twist . see lifeboat instead . much good cast and more subtle and effective acting than with the over the top and chew the scenery overact from tyrone power . lifeboat also have a good and sympathetic til the end and rescued german sailer subplot that be effective in pull our heartstrings until we saw that often thing be not what they appear to be . they be often bad .
