57. "Voyage of the Damned" (1976)

Ahoy! Tonight we set sail for Cuba.  But with a title like "Voyage of the Damned," it's gonna be a choppy ride. A popular 1974 book became this 1976 movie, which tells the true story of the St. Louis. More than 900 Jews were allowed to leave Germany in 1939 aboard this ocean liner. For some (including those in concentration camps), it was a Godsend, but things are revealed to be not what they seem. A star-studded cast gave this movie high hopes, even though it was judged to have fallen short... Asides include an out-of-left-field reference to Barry Manilow.  Drop us a line at worldwartwomovienight@gmail.com Check out our Twitter at http://twitter.com/WWIIMovieNight Consider donating at https://www.patreon.com/WorldWarTwoMovieNight
