Description

When a ship of Americans and Britons is sunk by a missile from a German U-boat during WWII, the survivors must cope with the elements - and each other. Unfortunately, they know nothing about navigation or survival at sea, and quickly begin to turn on each other. So when they pull the Nazi U-boat Captain out of the sea they have no choice but to trust his superior survival skills, even though the course he is steering is back to his boat, and he is taking them as prisoners of war.

    This film and Rear Window are my favorite Alfred Hitchcock movies. The acting is outstanding, especially the performances of Tallulah Bankhead and William Bendix. Hitchcock's direction allows the viewer to become a survivor on that lifeboat, desperate to be picked up. A superb film!

    Wow! This movie was not what I was expecting. Recently became an Alfred Hitchcock fan and trying to watch all his movies! This one did not disappoint at all! Can't believe this type of story and just the way this film was directed and recorded was able to be produced on one boat, or one set. Acting was phenomenal. Movie relies solely on te actors and dialogue. When watching this movie you focus on the characters and that's it. No flashy props or anything, no distractions that so many movies have today. I can't believe how many emotions this movie made me go through. I felt angry, happy, confused, relieved, and so much more. This is definitely one of Hitchcocks best films. Still blown away by this guy!!! Must see!

    We watched this movie in my english class, and i thought it was pretty good. Unpredictable story line, rent it for sure, maybe buy it, because it isnt very good the second or third time you watch it.

    Hailed as Tallulah Bankhead's fines screen performance, Lifeboat, nominated for three Oscars, has gone some 65 years as one of Hitchcock's most underrated work. A must see.

    One of the best Hitchcock ever made. The entire film takes place in one scene - the lifeboat, and it is a wonderful, tense and absolutely riveting movie, excellent acting. Surprising this has not been re-made by the fools in Hollywood, it is a timeless picture. If you don't know Hitchcock - see it, if you like Hitchcock - see it. Watch it simply for the tense well-written psychological interplay of survivors in a lifeboat.

    I love how this movie begins, but hate how it ends. Despite this though, it's still a great Hitchcock film. He was truly a genious.
  • Hitchcock's Most Underrated Work

    Lifeboat is easily Hitchcock's most underrated work. While not being a thriller, this character-driven war time drama is a masterpiece of symbolism and one of my favorite movies. Tallulah Bankhead especially turns in a magnificent performance as a wealthy reporter too wrapped up in her own world to care for anyone else- and therefore truly unable to understand the true horror and senseless brutality of WWII. Highly recommended for all Hitchcock buffs and classic film fans.
