"A poor man's Titantic" is how I would describe this film. Most of it was disappointing with the exception of the last 20 minutes, which was very suspenseful. There are a couple of scenes when the ship starting have major problems that are almost jaw-dropping. Thus, the special effects were good for its day.
However, most of the film we have to listen to Edmund O'Brien yelling all the time; be frustrated as husband Robert Stack keeps trying to get help for his wife (Dorothy Malone) and annoyed as officers keep trying to convince a pig-headed captain (George Sanders) that things are NOT going to be okay.
One of the few appealing characters in the movie was Woody Strode, who unselfishly tries to help out in a bad situation.
