Description

Hitchcock's most important cinematic contribution to the war effort and a considerable technical achievement, "Lifeboat" stars the inimitable Tallulah Bankhead who, along with a bunch of other characters, is left stranded in the middle of the ocean after the Nazi's attack on their ship. Based on a story by John Steinbeck, the film mixes propaganda with thrills, violence and surprising sexual subtexts. Join us as we explore this ambitious and politically charged Hitchcock classic.
