Title: Disfunction aboard ship
Review: 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.
