   Not the usual kind of Hitchcock that I'm used to seeing, but a damn fine piece. Amazing how a 97 minute movie on a boat can be so exciting. A true testament to how much of a Genius Alfred was. 12 years ago

   Hitchcock made several "limited setting" films throughout his career, Lifeboat stands well on its sea legs against many of his classics. The cast is well chosen and the plot works its way to every good plot point that one could come up with on a stranded lifeboat. Tallulah Bankhead was a brilliant pick and mirrors her character's preposterous appearance on a Lifeboat in the Atlantic perfectly. 8 years ago

   I couldn't believe when Tallulah Bankhead of all people was giving Smith (Schmidt) the sappy speech about

   Rosie and how heartbroken she would be if he didn't trust her enough to come home to her with or without both legs. I wasn't buying it from her although I could see how the lovable working-stiff "Joe" type guy like Smith would. I almost died laughing when Bankhead turned around, raised her eyes to Heaven and whispered, "Heaven, forgive me." Yeah, she didn't buy it either!
