A relaxing cruise turns into a terrifying journey in Joseph M. Newman's Dangerous Crossing. Part of the Fox Film Noir series, Newman's classy B-movie plays more like a psychological thriller with some particularly atmospheric visuals (heavy on the studio-generated fog). As her honeymoon begins, newlywed Ruth Bowman (Jeanne Craine, Pinky) explores the ship while husband John (Carl Betz, The Donna Reed Show) runs an errand. On deck, a friendly divorcée warns Ruth, "You mustn't let him out of your sight--husbands can get lost so easily." (The familiar-looking sets were recycled from 1953's Titanic and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.) Hours later, John hasn't returned, and no one has seen him. Ruth's inquiries uncover an empty room, a missing passport, and her spouse's absence from the passenger list. All signs point to delusion. Ruth's plight brings her to the attention of Dr. Paul Manning (the elegant Michael Rennie, The Day the Earth Stood Still), who offers to help in any way he can. Though Ruth confesses to a brief bout with depression, there's nothing else in her background to indicate instability, but that disclosure leads Manning to the real cause of her distress. Based on John Dickson Carr's 1943 radio play Cabin B-13 and shot in 19 days, Newman (This Island Earth) conjures up as much intrigue as Alfred Hitchcock's The Lady Vanishes. The excellent extras include comprehensive commentary from Fox historian Aubrey Solomon, a short featurette (Peril at Sea: Charting a Dangerous Crossing), several stills galleries, and the original theatrical trailer. --Kathleen C.

Dangerous Crossing |
|
Dangerous Crossing is a little known and short Film Noir and carries itself well. The acting abilities of it's featured artists Jeanne Crain and Michael Rennie are believable and the actors who pull together to make sure Miss Crain's character seems to be going out of her mind do a superb job. Note the stewardess' who is helping her lover(the husband of Miss Crain), it is Kathryn Grant (future wife to Bing Crosby - 1957). It's well worth the viewing. |

NOT ONE OF JEANNE'S BEST |
|
AS MUCH AS I HAVE LOVED MISS CRAIN FOR YEARS, THIS IS NOT ONE OF HER BETTER MOVIES. I HAD NEVER SEEN THIS ONE AND ORDERED IT SIGHT UNSEEN WHEN IT WENT ON SALE. IT'S VERY INTERESTING, BUT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH BETTER AND ENDS A LITTLE QUICKLY. |

|
excellent suspense |
|
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. |

Dangerous Crossing (Fox Film Noir) |

I have to say he is enjoying it. |

|
good, but not quite as good as i remembered |
|
this is a movie i've waited years to see again. i totally enjoyed it for that reason. also there is commentary that i really enjoyed. i like jeanne crain, so i enjoyed her. but you can tell that they made this movie really quickly. the dialogue's not great. and the performance is a bit overboard in places. but i still thoroughly enjoyed it and am glad that i was finally able to see it again. |
