Torture Ship (1939)
2/10
Beyond the 3 mile limit
18 April 2019
Scientist Irving Pichel has figured out that he can do his nefarious experiments on a ship beyond the three mile limit where the authorities. Pichel is also conducting his experiments on some notorious criminal types so who would really care?

Somehow he gets his Navy nephew Lyle Talbot to skipper his boat while he and his fellow scientists do their thing. Which Talbot objects to when it comes to Julie Bishop who with Sheila Bromley was part of a poisoning for insurance money racket.

That Torture Ship could have come from a Jack London novel is no tribute to Jack. Poverty row PRC studios really botched this one with a dull and lifeless adaption.
