Stanley Kramer’s star-studded, Oscar-winning adaptation of Katherine Anne Porter’s novel about passengers aboard an ocean liner bound to Germany from Mexico in 1933 forms a potent allegory of a world drifting inexorably towards war. With its incredible cast – including Vivien Leigh (in her last screen role), Simone Signoret, Lee Marvin, George Segal, Oskar Werner and Jose Ferrer – Ship of Fools is a powerful drama and a compelling viewing experience. It remains one of the finest ensemble pieces of the period.

Ship of fools

Written on 15. June 2005 by Stan.

Gute Romanverfilmung, allerdings fragt man sich, wieso ausgerechnet Rühmann den Juden spielt...
