An analysis and humorous take on Hitchcock's Lifeboat which has his most creative and funniest cameo. The movie was shot on two sets composed of a lifeboat in dry dock for interior shots and an identical lifeboat floating in a large tank for exterior shots. Lifeboat follows the survivors of a U-boat attack as they attempt to get back to Allied waters. Tallulah Bankhead starts as the sole occupant dressed to the nines and documenting her surroundings for a newspaper story. She firsts picks up John Hodiak as a deckhand that after a rocky start becomes her love interest. Other survivors include William Bendix, the hepcat engineer with a bum gam, Walter Slezak as a U-boat survivor, Mary Anderson as a young British nurse, caring for a mother Heather Angel and her baby, Harry Hall as the millionaire industrialist, Hume Cronym as a deckhand, and Canada Lee as the porter. Tensions rise as survivors go missing and the intentions of the U-boat survivor are called into question.
