Brightlyme i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

Patience Watson One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

Michael_Elliott The Last Voyage (1960) *** (out of 4)A ship is on its final voyage but after a boiler explosion it begins to sink. The Captain (George Sanders) believes that it can be saved so his main focus is on the boat and not necessarily the safety of the passengers. Also happening is a husband (Robert Stack) tries frantically to save his wife (Dorothy Malone) who finds herself trapped under a large piece of iron.THE LAST VOYAGE is a pretty good movie on its own merits but I'm sure many people will watch it and find it old-fashioned or "not entertaining enough" because of the disaster films that would follow more than a decade later. When people think of a sinking ship they obviously go towards the Titanic, which plays a major role in the plot here. Outside of that when it comes to movies THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE comes to a lot of people's mind. That film certainly seems to have been influenced by this one.Again, people should remember that this was made more than a decade earlier than THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE, which is reason alone to be even more impressed by this film. The special effects are quite excellent as they were using a real ship and tried to re-enact everything that they could. The scenes towards the end of the ship sinking looked extremely good and I must say that they contained a great amount of suspense as a group of men struggle to save the wife. These suspense scenes didn't happen throughout the film but they clearly saved everything for the finale.The performances for the most part were good too. Shack is a sympathetic character than one can easily connect with and the actor is fine in the role. Malone doesn't get too much to do other than wait to be rescued. Sanders is very good in his role as the Captain who never seems to be saying or doing the right thing. Woody Strode is the real stand out in his supporting role. Edmond O'Brien is also wonderful in his part. Both Strode and O'Brien easily steal the movie.THE LAST VOYAGE certainly has some flaws including the lack of suspense throughout the first seventy five minutes of the movie. Still, everything really picks up during the finale making this a successful disaster movie.

AaronCapenBanner Andrew L. Stone directed this early disaster yarn that stars Robert Stack and Dorothy Malone as Cliff & Laurie Henderson, who, along with their young daughter Jill, are passengers aboard an old luxury liner whose boiler explodes, starting an engine room fire that spreads out of control, threatening to sink the ship. George Sanders plays Captain Adams, and Edmond O'Brian plays the engineer trying desperately to save the ship, and help Henderson, whose wife is now trapped, and in need of a blowtorch to free her. Exciting film with a fine cast and impressively uses a real ship to sink, rather than model work, which gives this film an added feeling of authenticity.

JLRMovieReviews Robert Stack, Dorothy Malone, and George Sanders star in this fictional account of an ocean liner sinking. Almost right away there's a fire to be put out, but there's problems that caused it, which obviously lead to more. Bob and Dorothy are a married couple out on vacation with their daughter and George is the ship's captain who is in denial about the peril his ship, passengers and crew are all in. The film is a short 90 minutes so it wastes no time in setting up the stage of trouble and gets everyone in a panic. But it takes the majority of the movie to get George to alert the passengers about using life-jackets and getting them on the lifeboats. Due to an explosion, Dorothy is trapped under a heavy piece of wreckage that can not be moved by mere men. I forget now just what they called it, but Bob needs to get some sort of laser (yeah right) that would cut through the heavy metal. It takes some doing for that too. And, in the explosion, a hole opened up in their cabin and their daughter was almost sucked out of the room. All this sounds awful, doesn't it? Well, it does make a very taut and entertaining short film. If you like this kind of action and story with it not reflecting any true events, this movie, which costars Edmund O'Brien and Woody Strode, packs a wallop and delivers good performances. I would watch this again. That's something, considering it puts people in bad, possibly realistic situations that do not make for a good vacation. Kudos for a well written and mounted film.

DKosty123 This is sort of an old type Hollywood movie only for 1960 it has a different theme and look. It is an old type because it it stuck having to have the mostly happy ending where the main characters have to survive the film. It is a different look because of the scenery and effects.Robert Stack and Dorothy Malone star in an aging ocean liner which has a fire and then proceeds to sink despite all efforts to save her. Meanwhile Stack's wife is trapped under a steel beam and he works at trying to save her. The couples daughter is on board too and both parents try to make sure she is safe.The film does precede later disaster films with scenes which the viewer about the perils the ship is in. The acting is predictably wooden as Stack and his trapped wife shows the most emotion of anyone.Unlike the fully matured disaster movies of the 1970's no one dies on screen, and the confusion of the scenes is so complete that the viewer has no idea who survives much less the crew of the ship.
