Movie Review by B Movie Ben

March 14th, 2008

A mystery at sea

Despite the fact that this film is of poor quality (actually it is supposedly the remains of a longer film), it is still a good mystery.

The Mary Celeste was actually found at sea with no crew left.

What happened to them? The Captain (Arthur Margetson) married a woman (Shirley Grey) loved by another Captain. he paid a crew member to dispatch the Captain at the first opportunity. Did he succeed?

Or was it Bela Lugosi (in his only Hammer film) as Anton Lorenzen, a man who was shanghaied six years earlier and wanted revenge?

This film may not be historically accurate, but it is a good story. It is also a chance to see Bela Lugosi in a dramatic, non-horror role. After who really knows what happened?
