A pre-disaster film from 1960. Robert Stack & Dorothy Malone (reuniting as co-stars from Written on the Wind) play a married couple on vacation (along w/their adorable tyke) on a luxury liner who's best days are behind it as a controllable fire on the lower decks so becomes anything but. Eschewing the cliches & situations we will come to love (or hate!) from the all star disaster flicks of the 70's, this film skirts them or downright starts them. W/a cast which includes Edmond O'Brien, Woody Strode & George Sanders, the film scores points for sinking a real ship to achieve the goal of verisimilitude but the effects are dated (even though they won an Oscar) so some of the shine is gone.
