When an eclectic group of passengers boards a cruise ship bound for prewar Germany, they form a microcosm of 1930s society. One passenger, a mysterious countess (Simone Signoret), is headed for a German prison camp. The charming Dr. Schumann (Oskar Werner) harbors a debilitating heart condition. Then there's American divorcée Mary Treadwell (Vivien Leigh), who vainly attempts to outrun time itself. During their weeks at sea, the group forges bonds and rivalries, and unearths secrets.

3. The Ship of Fools - Roger Ebert
Missing: overrated | Show results with:overrated
I have seen the new 3D version of "Titanic" and, as with the original 1997 version, I found it a magnificent motion picture. The hour or more after the ship hits the iceberg remains spellbinding. The material leading up to that point is a combination of documentary footage from the ocean floor, romantic melodrama, and narration by a centenarian named Rose. The production brings to life the opulence of the great iron ship. Its passengers are a cross section of way of life that would be ended forever by the First World War. In a way, the iceberg represented the 20th century.

Uh... OK. If not actually on my knees, I beg to differ with the first quote. Ship of Fools, in many ways, defies mainstream Hollywood which is a plus right there. It was made in 1965 and it concerns a group of people who, with perhaps one nasty exception, have no idea of the future into which they are sailing. The film is set in 1933 and Nazism is on the rise. We start the journey at Veracruz in Mexico and via a stop at Cuba, we finally reach our German destination, the harbour at Bremerhaven. But the film, with an albeit accidental, but nonetheless deft, post-modern reading also offers itself up unknowingly as a parallel narrative sailing into the end of Hollywood as it was. I saw the term 'post-modern' shortened to the Teletubbyesque 'po-mo' in a rather excellent little book called Post Truth, which I heartily recommend. I wonder if any producer or director had any inkling of the cultural tsunami about to break on the shores of Los Angeles in the late 60s? OK, equating Nazism to Easy Rider wasn't exactly my intention but change was in the hair and also the Herr. Choose your own dumb pun (hippy or Nazi). An hour or so into the commentary, listened to after this observation was written down, this point is made which both annoys and satisfies me. Every day, it gets harder to wrap my head around the Brexit/Trump world and how easy so-called civilisation can be compromised by powerful idiots and tiny majorities convinced by lies with some people terrified by the prospect of immi...

9. Ship Of Fools (Revisited) - SHELDON KIRSHNER JOURNAL
Missing: overrated | Show results with:overrated
Fifty seven years had elapsed since I watched Ship of Fools, and now I had the chance to revisit it thanks to the Turner Classic Movies channel. Would Stanley Kramer’s 2 hour-and-29-minute feature film be as absorbing, perceptive and impressive as it had been in 1965? Or would it be an outdated and kitschy relic best forgotten?
