THE SHIP OF LOST MEN (German intertitles only)
by Maurice Tourneur
1929, 121 min, 35mm, silent. German intertitles with no English translation.
This screening is part of: MARLENE DIETRICH
Film Notes(DAS SCHIFF DER VERLORENEN MENSCHEN)
Preserved by the Library of Congress.
“A ship full of shady characters on the high seas. The rough captain is in command of a crew of desperadoes, smugglers, and criminals. Only two decent people are on board: an American youth on the run and the Russian chef. In the middle of the Atlantic they fish a crashed American pilot (Marlene Dietrich) out of the water, who now has to hide from a greedy pack of men (including the great Gaston Modot, later one of Jean Renoir’s favorite actors). THE SHIP OF LOST MEN was a European ‘million-dollar film’ for which no expense was spared because producer Max Glass wanted to compete directly with the major American films. He hired the young Marlene Dietrich as the female star [just a year before she would achieve international stardom thanks to THE BLUE ANGEL] and the Frenchman Maurice Tourneur, who had previously been successful in Hollywood for many years, to direct. Here Tourneur not only demonstrates an ‘eminently painterly eye’, but also a sense of tension and dramaturgy, according to Hans Sahl: ‘Tourneur…has created the atmosphere of the harbor quarters and bars, the cabin and aft deck profiles in a series of images whose wonderfully toned, shaded chiaroscuro is reminiscent of the portrait art of French masters.’ (Der Montag Morgen, 1929)” –DEUTSCHES HISTORISCHES MUSEUM
