Hitchcock's "Lifeboat"










In response to the request from "Boliyou" after the post on Dial M for Murder, here are selected cels from 1000 Frames of Hitchcock summarizing the 1944 war movie Lifeboat, starring Tallulah Bankhead, Hume Cronyn, William Bendix, and Walter Slezak (as the German).

To anyone not familiar with the film, these images will be meaningless. Film buffs can use them to reconstruct virtually the entire story.

Re the famous cameo in this movie, see also here (and you'll never see the subject presented with better music...)

  1. Awesome! Probably my favorite Hitch movie, and you really can get the gist of the whole story from those stills. Thanks!

  3. The kiss at 39:10 in Lifeboat is one of the most powerful ever filmed.
