lifeboat (1944)

"Maybe they can answer that."
A freighter is torpedoed by a u-boat, which itself is sunk. One lifeboat makes it out of the termoil, holding a businessman (Henry Hull), a journalist (Tallulah Bankhead), several crew from the ship (including William Bendix & Hume Cronyn) and one German from the submarine (Walter Slezak). Can they put their differences aside and survive.
Centered around a stunning performance by Ms Bankhead, who provides pathos and black humour to wrap around a script that provokes much thought.
