"Dangerous Crossing (1953) ... Joseph M. Newman (Director) ... 20th Century Fox (2008)",
By
This review is from: Dangerous Crossing (DVD)
Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation presents "DANGEROUS CROSSING" (August 1953) (75 min/B&W) (Fully Restored/Dolby Digitally Remastered) -- Set aboard a transatlantic passenger liner headed to England, Jeanne Crain plays a new bride who's new husband immediately goes missing after boarding the ship in New York --- This leaves her in a state of panic as she can not convince the ship's crew or passengers that he even exists --- Suspicions rise as a hint of her mental instability comes to light, and bits of her past are made known --- Questionable characters lurk around every dark corner of the ship during the fog-enshrouded crossing, offering an atmosphere of doubt and danger.Keeps you guessing right to the very end!

Excellent Suspense Film,
By Brent Rohde - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dangerous Crossing (DVD)
"Dangerous Crossing" [1953/Fox/b&w] was a low-budget film, but a first-class spellbinder. Scenario in brief: a new bride boards an ocean liner with her husband. The ship sails. He disappears. Why? How? Did he even exist? The bride's hysteria builds...until the mystery is solved.This alarming, but riveting story was conceived by John Dickson Carr, a veteran contributor to CBS Radio's "Suspense." Director Joseph M. Newman's delayed-gratification, "march to the guillotine" pacing; the successful creation of an absolutely suffocating atmosphere of dread; the heart-rending performance of beautiful Jeanne Crain in one of her most challenging roles as the young bride; the sympathetic contributions of Michael Rennie as the ship's doctor: all distinguish "Dangerous Crossing" as a suspenseful film noir of the first order. Recommended without reservation. 38 of 44 people found the following review helpful

Fine Fare from Fox Film Noir!,

This review is from: Dangerous Crossing (DVD)
This highly suspenseful film featuring the exquisitely beautiful Jeanne Crain finally makes it to DVD. Also starring Michael Rennie, Carl Betz (Donna Reed show) and a host of recognizable character actors provide us with a more than convincing edge of your seat thriller. This short (75 minutes long) film is packed with Hitchcockian touches making for a fine addition to any one's Mystery/Suspense collection!UPDATE 03.18.08 This release is beautifully restored with excellent gray-scale resolution. Bonus features abound including: *Audio Commentary by Film Historian Aubrey Soloman *Peril at Sea: Charting A Dangerous Crossing (Featurette) *Interactive Passbook - Still Galleries *Original Theatrical Trailer 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful

This is an outstanding movie, a little gem. Filled with suspense and interest. A newly married woman boards a cruise ship with her husband and he immediately disappears. The ship's officials think she is delusional. Worth watching.
