During
the second world war a German U-boat sinks a passengers
ship in the Atlantic, but it gets destroyed too. The survivors from the ship are in a boat: they are a journalist, a businessman, a radio operator, a nurse, a steward, a sailor and an engineer. They pull out a man from the water. He is a sailor of the U-boat and leads the boat to a German sea side. At the beginning Americans try to trust him, but they soon can suffer the German no more and they push him into water again. This
is a psychological thriller movie; Hitchcock deeply
enters each character's mind |
