The Last Voyage ~ Andrew L. Stone
The Last Voyage~ Andrew L. Stone is yet another one of those movies that I first saw on TCM. The storyline is well done and I must say the actors do a very good job and I must say that storyline is so much more realistic then that phoney love story in Titanic. George Sanders is amazing in the role as the power hungry and self-centered captain that takes the sinking of the ship as personal injury rather then a tragedy for all and does everything to make sure that he becomes the hero. Even at the expense of the lives of others. Robert Stack also plays his role well. The little girl is alright and she tends to whine about to much and this sounds a bit unrealistic and she looks way to old to play the role that she has been given and the clothes look silly and just out of place. The special effects are ok, but they do not take away the focus like titanic does. This is a quite good movie that gets the 4 stars that it deserves.

Better than you think!
This is a well-written and tightly crafted little film. It never pretends to be more than it is about. The film gets right to the dilemma with nearly the opening shot. There are very few special effects as the disaster is real. The real ship is really on fire! No need for CGI smoke and mirrors. George Sanders has a believable and restrained turn as the beleagured captain. Robert Stack is his usual no nonsense good guy. Woody Strode, a good underrated actor, also gives his usual solid bit part. <
>What I liked most is the look of the film. Its not fake. The action is real because they really did burn the ship. This adds to the excitement and tension. This deserves to be on DVD.

Disfunction aboard ship
This is one of my favorite maritime movies because the characters in it remind me so much of many people that I went to sea with. Especially the First Asst. Engineer. ( Though the comment about his father being on the Titanic was a bit over the top ) Forget the passengers and the sinking ship, the real story here is in the interaction of the crew and the great backgrounds of a real ship instead of a fake Hollywood set. One scene though you will never see in real life is the Chief Engineer hammering on the safety valve of an over-pressurized boiler. He would have known that it was already too late! Also check out "The decks ran red" directed by Andrew Stone, TERRIBLE story and acting, but it was all filmed on a WWII Liberty ship. Not every day that you see a tripple expansion steam engine operating.
