FlyBackTransformer Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 > taped this and wow I am a fool lol it was soooo boring and pointless. Very much so. Like who cares if George Segal ignores Elizabeth Ashley? And that BS between Simone Signoret and Oskar Werner but there is some enjoyable stuff too. 1. Vivien Leigh insulting Lee Marvin with some crack about lynching negroes. 2. Lee Marvin calling Michael Dunn (the film's narrator) a sawed-off intellectual. 3. The flamenco dancer labeling Marvin a cheapskate. 4. Her misdirecting him to Vivien Leigh's cabin with hilarious results. She beats Marvin to within an inch of his life with her pocketbook. LOL!

Hibi Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 i think Leigh beat Marvin with her shoe heel. (Havent seen the film in a long time) Some good performances, but a dull, overlong soapy script... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josephherndz Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Can't we concentrate on the topic at hand? These childish political statements should not belong here. About the film, I actually like it, usually I pop the dvd once in a while on a cold or rainy night and just immerse myself in the dramatic situations of the crew. The midget seems to be the only stable one of the whole lot. Edited by: josephherndz on Oct 23, 2013 5:09 PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesJazGuitar Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 What I find even worst is the claim that it was just a joke. i.e. that one doesn't really know that they are insulting people that don't agree with the political POV of their so called 'joke'. Maybe someone else belongs on that ship! Edited by: jamesjazzguitar on Oct 23, 2013 8:08 PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamradio Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Only a cartoon satire relating to the movie. No sides taken. Take note, that will be my last one of its type, people are waaay over sensitive. My apologies.

Swithin Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I like it too. Great cast, yes, it's sort of Grand Hotel on a ship, but it's well done. I think Simone Signoret gave a brilliant performance, and I particularly love the credits -- the way all the names become a ship that sails away. It has also got a great score by Ernest Gold. I remember buying the soundtrack when I was kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesJazGuitar Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 While I enjoy many parts of this film and there is some very fine acting to me the film is only average. With tighter direction and better editing it could of been above average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hibi Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 The George Segal/Ashley subplot in particular is pretty bad........Nothing subtle about the script or direction, every point is hammered home.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Havent seen the film in a long time) Some good performances, but a dull, overlong soapy script... Yeah, her shoe heel...worked too. What got to Vivien was Lee Marvin apologizing for coming to HER cabin. *LOL* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
