"The Last Voyage"

Continuing onwards towards the Academy Awards, I present 1960's "The Last Voyage" starring Robert Stack, Dorothy Malone and George Sanders.

The French Line was horrified by this film because their former flagship, the Ile de France, played the SS Claridon. The old liner was blown up (albeit on a small scale) and partially sunk in the Sea of Japan.

  2. It was the French ship "Ile de France," which had participated in the "Andrea Doria" rescue operations some years before. But aye...it's worth checking out I'd say.
