A cruise ship is blasted and 26 survivors gather on and around a large lifeboat. Ship officer Tyrone Power has to take charge of these weak-minded losers and if that means tossing some of the old and injured overboard then so be it. Or something like that.
I was hoping ABANDON SHIP would be better than Hitchcock’s weak LIFEBOAT...and it is better, but not by much. There's a bunch of people on a boat, there's a lot of talking and people get upset, somebody threatens to eat a dog, another guy is stabbed and another shot with a flare gun, people drown, somebody spots a shark fin. Sounds exciting, but it's really not. I doubt I’ll ever watch it ever again. Skip it.
