Alfred Hitchcock made Lifeboat relatively early in his American directorial career and the title and picture says it all, a bunch of people stranded in a lifeboat. Set in WWII it involves a lifeboat of American and British civilians who take on a Nazi soldier as a fellow castaway and must decide what to do with the man who they are at war with. Between lack of supplies, the weather and their mistrust of the German officer, will everyone survive? Hitchcock is at the top of his game and I really felt like I was in the Lifeboat with these people, the performances are all well acted and the story and moral choices are relevant today.
Rating 4.0/5.0
