Movie Reviews of Ship of Fools

Movie Review: Ship of Fools
Summary: 5 Stars

Based on Katherin Anne Porter's novel, producer/director Stanley Kramer creates a fascinating, emotionally gripping film with a conscience, "Ship" stays afloat thanks to Abby Mann's sharp screenplay and a slew of memorable performances: Signoret as a Spanish activist, Oskar Werner as the onboard doctor, and Oscar-nominated dwarf Michael Dunn, whose direct-address speeches are worthy of Sophocles. And then, there's the incomparable Lee Marvin, riveting as always.

Movie Review: The Ship of Fools Movie Soundtrack
Summary: 5 Stars

The Movie Soundtrack CD composed by Ernest Gold is available on Artemis Records (ART-F 002) and can be bought through the Global Electronic Music Marketplace (GEMM) Homepage. After waiting years for US distributors to make the soundtrack available, I discovered it was already available to international consumers. I hope this will help those who loved and admired this classic movie also to acquire the exceptional music.

Movie Review: SHIP OF FOOLS- A MASTERPIECE
Summary: 5 Stars

This star-studded film is one of my all time favourite films. The acting,direction and Ernest Gold's music combine to make this an unforgettable experience.This film was made at a time when actors really knew how to act-something missing from most films today. The final 5 minutes of this film is an experience seldom,if ever, seen in a film.A true classic of the cinema.

Movie Review: A Microcosm
Summary: 5 Stars

Though dated by the photography, the story and the acting stand up well. There's no action and that can be considered a relief by some. The recreation of an era with it attitudes and prejudices is difficult but it helps put more recent Holocaust films in perspective. How would I have liked to have behaved? How would I have behaved?

Movie Review: Terrific, absorbing drama
Summary: 5 Stars

Powerful, dramatic adaptation of Katherine Anne Porter's novel about racism and complacency among passengers travelling on a German liner in 1933. Marvelously directed by Stanley Kramer, excellent, Oscar-winning cinematography, and a powerhouse cast, especially Simone Signoret and Oskar Werner.
