Dangerous Voyage

I thought the first half of this film was very good, an intriguing story about a recovered boat, a degree of intrigue as those involved visit Paris, then it all goes a little wrong when they introduce nuclear burns bur gamma days, it does become somewhat muddled.

The acting is good, Naomi Chance is excellent as Joan, she looks incredibly stylish, a look that somehow looks wonderfully modern. Vincent Ball is also good as John, not an actor I've seen much of, memorable for being the gym instructor in Carry on Cruising. William Lundigan does well with the scripture was given.

It's decent, but so disjointed.

This starts out as a fairly standard boat thriller directed as usual by Vernon Sewell but then suddenly changes tack so that it is all about gamma rays and atomic bombs.The film is directed in rather plodding style.There is a coroners court sequence which goes on interminably. Then there is a comic scene in a French police station.Rather disappointing,I expected more.

Beware not to confound this film with another one directed too by Vernon Sewell and titled "Ghost Ship", shot in 1952. It's also a sea mystery film.

When I started to watch this one, I first thought that I already saw it a long time ago...But I checked on IMDb and discovered that there were in fact two movies with approximately the same kind of topic.

In the first one, it's about a boat with no one aboard and the enigma around it; and in the latest, the rescue of two men in a row boat, and who mysteriously disappear just after...

The sequence where the two lead characters come into a police station, in France, to complain about someone who shot at them, and where two policemen don't understand what they say, is very amusing. Frenchies are shown as dumbs, but I laughed a lot.

The climax is quite effective. I would say unforgettable.

A dull low budget time-filler in which crime writer William Lundigan seeks the whereabouts of two men who disappeared from a stricken boat as it was towed into harbour. All very English, despite its brief foray overseas.

This movie is virtually impossible to find a review on. I have many, many movie review books and I could not find a single review either under 'Terror Ship' or how it was presented when I viewed it on TV today; 'Dangerous Voyage'.

It is a pleasant time filler that had me guessing throughout. It involves a British brother and sister who run a holiday on boat business and a 'mysterious' American who is interested in purchasing a boat that the brother/sister towed back to harbour with a mystery surrounding it.

Performances are good throughout. It is definitely worth a look.
