I am looking for the name of a 1940's movie-it was about a cruise ship before ww2 broke out, some passengers were nazi sympathizers, and some, especially one old man, was a Jewish man who was not worried about the situation in Germany. TCM showed it a few times. I would be grateful if anyone knows the name!

That sounds right, but it came out in 1965.

It was an excellent film as I recall. I had to see it when I was in college and to fulfill a gen ed requirement so I took Art of the Film. Darn class took enjoyment out of watching movies for a good 20 years.

It is Ship of Fools. Michael Dunn was in it as the narrator.

I too am looking for a movie: It took place post WW2 in perhaps Czech as the Communist took over. It was about a circus owner trying to keep his troupe together and cross the border into freedom.

I roomed with a Cinema Major at USC (he became a busy actor—Brian Kerwin). We’d go to movies and he’d tell me all the ins-and-outs.

It has greatly increased my enjoyment, and to this day I always read all the credits.

I have found that if you just type the major info (plot/actor/timeline into a search engine you can usually find what you are looking for.

Good luck.

I was just half kidding about the class taking all the enjoyment out of watching a film. It did make me analyze films tho. That’s the exact opposite of how I went to the movies prior to taking that class. I think I was more interested in my dates than any movie prior to the class.
